Sponsored Organizations: Sponsored organizations are those considered congruent with the mission and culture of the university and operate as a part of a university department or unit. These organizations are inherently linked to the university because of their role representing K-State or in presenting events of broad appeal that are considered an integral part of the institution.

Affiliated Organizations: Affiliated organizations are those that are, in general, interest groups and provide engagement activities that are primarily for their direct membership. These groups are generally capable of functioning with minimal university support, but may receive support from a parent organization, including but not limited to regional/national/international governing organizations.

For more information about these classifications, view the Student Organization Policy.
