As students, we completely understand that Club meetings are not always a priority on your to-do lists, nor should they be. We encourage you to participate when you are able to but to always put your school work first! Further, we actively welcome using our meeting time to complete your course assignments in recognition that some people prefer to work amongst friends or just social company in general.
With this all being said, we do invoke an Attendance Policy for our General Club Meetings. Although this may seem daunting, we want to assure you that it is nothing to be afraid of nor is it something that will pose any immediate threat to your membership. We only track attendance to ensure that people who regularly engage with the Club receive priority access to events with a limited number of spots over those who only interact with the Club occassionally.
This general concept is used to define the two types of members that make up the body of the Anthropology Club: Active Members and Inactive Members. Active Member status is achieved by this regular engagement previously described. But to further elaborate, an Active Member meets these following qualifications:
The first qualification is the main defining quality of an Active Member. All other qualities opposite to those listed above are used to define Inactive Members.
Now, just to clarify, this does NOT mean Inactive Members cannot participate in Club events or meetings. In fact, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive group of individuals who strive to make engaging with Anthropology more accessible to EVERYONE. So, although we wish all events had an infinite number of spots, some activities, such as museum trips, are funded directly out of our SSI budget which is inherently limited in itself. To make sure the divvying of these spots are distributed fairly, we invoke the priority of Active Members over Inactive Members.
