Two new student organizations-Highlands Animal Interests Society and Chargers Raising Colts- are in the process of being approved.
The Highlands Animal Interests Society (HAIS) is to be based on the Cartersville campus.
When asked about the new student organization Marwa Starkey, the president of HAIS, said �We are a unique organization dedicated to helping both people and animals.�
The club is set up with the general goal of advancing both people and animals without trying to force certain beliefs or lifestyles, such as vegetarianism, on its members.
Optional donations and community service hours are listed in the constitution as part of the commitment that will be expected of members, allowing them to obtain such things as club shirts as well as the ability to post web pages.
Chargers Raising Colts (CRC) has a different goal in mind.
�CRC is an organization for students who are balancing school, work, and family,� said Cassie Taylor, a sophomore early childhood education major and president of CRC.
�We will not be requiring major commitments from our members or make them attend meetings,� said Taylor. �We just want to give students someone to lean on when they need it.� CRC is based on the Floyd Campus and is already promoting meetings and gatherings.
�I even have an online group for CRC on Facebook,� said Taylor. �I just need more people to get involved.�
The approval process for student organizations is comprised of multiple steps including the selection of an adviser and officers, the drafting of a constitution, the approval of the Student Engagement Council (SEC), the approval of faculty and the college president.
Both organizations have selected an adviser and officers and were recently approved by the SEC and the faculty.
The new clubs are waiting for approval from Dr. Randy Pierce, GHC president.
