The SOC is the branch of Student Government that allocates funds (derived from student activity fees) to student organizations on campus. We also grant recognition to student organizations, place organizations into co-ops, preside over the actual allocation process, oversee all activities financed through those funds, and finally de-recognize organizations when needed (either for inappropriate activity or inactivity).

If you wish to contact the SOC to suggest an organization, plan an event for your organization or would like additional information about running a student organization, visit our Forms page.

The College encourages contributions from its students, in addition to teaching and administrative faculty and hourly staff, in governance processes. It is through student committee involvement that the larger student body can voice its concerns about key decisions and most directly engage with the governance structure. Participation in shared governance at Earlham is perhaps one of the most rewarding and educational experiences Earlham students can take from their time here.

The Nominations Co-Chairs appoint student representatives to College standing committees through the Nominations Committee and ensures the appointment of students when new committees are formed. The Nominations Co-Chairs are also responsible for initiating all election processes and place Senators on Standing Committees.

Student Representatives on College Committees must complete monthly reports that detail the status of their committee, particularly, but not exclusively, regarding the progress of any policy recommendations that will eventually be up for community approval.

Nominations Co-Chairs

• Alex Eastman & Bailey Owens (Fall 2021)
