Resources and Opportunities
Start a Store in the Student Organization Marketplace
The Student Organization Marketplace is an online tool where recognized student orgs at ISU are able to extend their business to the internet and more effectively reach the larger Iowa State community and beyond. You can use the Marketplace to sell event registrations, collect membership dues and receive non-charitable donations. By purchasing a product through the Student Org Marketplace, customers are directly supporting your organization!

Save Your Stuff! Submit Your Old Student Org Files to University Archives
The University Archives is looking to gather materials related to student organizations to better document the student experience at Iowa State. If your club has old files that are no longer being used please consider donating them to the archives so they can be preserved. The types of files we are looking for include meeting minutes, reports, scrapbooks, constitutions, communications, programs, and photographs that document the activities of your organization. These files may be in paper or digital format--we are interested in both. If you have any questions or to inquire about donating materials, please contact Brad Kuennen, University Archivist, at kuennen@iastate.edu or 515-294-4216.
