The Student Union (or whatever organization is on the administration side of clubs) can sometimes have extremely useful resources. Here are some tips:

• Get a copy of any booklet that the Student Union produces for clubs. Sometimes these aren’t very helpful, but sometimes they can be extremely helpful.
• Find out what concrete resources are available to you. For instance:
  • Rooms to meet in
  • Tables and chairs for publicity events
  • AV equipment
  • Printing and copying
  • Permanent email address for your group
• See if there are any events and/or awareness-raising weeks organized by Student Affairs which you might be able to partner with. You may be able to get free publicity & resources through these!
• Find out if there is a contact list for other clubs. You can get in touch with other clubs and check their meeting and event times — teaming up with them for certain activities and events is a great way to do outreach within a slightly new demographic, with a uniquely captive audience.
• Make sure you’re on all the relevant university club/student union mailing lists, and stay up to date by reading their announcements thoroughly
• Check what sources of funding/grants are available for student groups. (For more on this, see How to: get funding & sponsorships.)
