Honor Societies


There are many student organizations affiliated with the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science. These groups are listed below in various categories. Each of them put together programs and other events to connect McCormick students with each other and to take advantage of the many resources on campus. They also provide leadership opportunities and chances to network with faculty, staff, and professionals in the field.

To get involved, contact the group directly (e-mail address and web pages are provided where available) or Gwen Murphy, Coordinator of Student Involvement in the Office of Undergraduate Engineering. To create a new student group, please see the attached application forms:

New Student Organization Recognition Application_Departmental/Special Interest - Adobe Acrobat required PDF file - Adobe Acrobat required
New Student Organization Recognition Application_Design - Adobe Acrobat required PDF file - Adobe Acrobat required

In addition, all current student organizations must now complete a renewal application to continue receiving recognition from McCormick. This was a policy that was developed with support from members of the McCormick Student Advisory Board to help provide documentation on the history of each of our student organizations.

There are two forms: one for design groups and the other for departmental/special interest organizations.

Current Student Organization_Departmental/Special Interest - Adobe Acrobat required PDF file - Adobe Acrobat required
Current Student Organization Design - Adobe Acrobat required PDF file - Adobe Acrobat required

Applications for new department/special interest organizations, as well as current design groups are due Oct. 10, 2008.

Each organization only has to complete one form. If you have any questions, please contact Gwen Murphy.
