Co-Sponsorships
Sometimes events are too large for any one club to handle. That is why AUCC clubs have an opportunity to co-sponsor with one another, student media and student governance groups (Kennedy Political Union, Student Union Board, Women’s Initiative, Founders), academic departments, and campus partners (Career Center, Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Center for Community Engagement and Service, etc.) to help foster a successful, inclusive, collaborative, and financially responsible community at American University.
What is Co-Sponsorship?
Co-sponsorship are commitments from organizations to partially handle the cost and management of the event, which may include marketing the event. Funds for financial co-sponsorship may come from the sponsoring organization itself (in the case of AUSG, Media board, or academic department sponsorship), or the funds may come from AUCC (in the case of clubs cosponsoring with other clubs). With co-sponsorships, there must be clear evidence of communication and teamwork between the two groups.
