Student Associations

Student associations play an active role in cultivating community life. Students organize activities, provide leadership in worship, and collaborate with student groups around shared concerns. The Director of Community and Spiritual Life, who serves as an advisor for all student associations and groups, strives to empower and equip students to lead in the Brite community and beyond.

A student organization seeking to receive recognition as an official Brite student interest group must obtain approval through the Office of the Dean at Brite Divinity School. Any group wishing to be recognized shall submit a name, a statement of mission and purpose, and the name of a faculty or staff member who agrees to act as advisor for the group to the Director of Community and Spiritual Life Student groups must agree to uphold the Brite Divinity School non-discrimination policy and membership must be open to all Brite students.

Only officially recognized student organizations shall be eligible to reserve Brite Divinity School facilities for their meetings, obtain any funding for activities, or use the Brite name as a part of the group’s name.

To maintain Brite recognition and the associated eligibility described above, each Brite student group must submit a list of officers to the Director of Community and Spiritual Life annually in the fall semester.
