Creating a Team
Each year, student teams decide if they are going to be active in the upcoming academic year. If you would like to either form a new team or continue with your current team’s work, an application form must be submitted.
If you would like to participate in the annual golf tournament, your application must be submitted by August 1st. Otherwise, applications are due on September 30th. An advisory committee will review all applications and will confirm whether the team may proceed.Ìý
