If you are planning a presentation sponsored by a student organization featuring external parties (companies, organizations, or speakers). In that case, you must submit a request through the link provided at least four weeks before the event. Be prepared to review the school’s conflict of interest policy, explain the importance of sharing the information with the TUSDM community, and attach any presentation materials.

Student Organization Budget Planning:

Bylaws: All school-approved organizations must approve a set of bylaws annually. You can create your own or update existing bylaws using a sample set provided, which can be modified to meet your organization’s needs. Should a student group revise its bylaws, a copy should be filed on record with the Office of Student Affairs.
