STUDENT ORGANIZATION ADVISERS NEEDED
There are two student organizations in need of a staff or faculty adviser: Flow Club and Catwalk Cartel.
Flow Club is an interactive, inclusive club dedicated to expression through movement. Contact: Clara Harding chard448@live.kutztown.edu.
Catwalk Cartel has been an established organization at KU since 2011. Instead of the way drug cartels dominate the industry, the group twisted the negative connotation of the word “cartel" and use it in a more positive perspective to represent how our models dominate the competition in runway modeling and fashion and dance. Contact: Aliyah Benjamin abenj885@live.kutztown.edu.
More information about the role of a student organization adviser can be found here.
