Following this initial review by the Director of Student Activities and Leadership Development, all contracts between any member of the College community and an outside agency or individual must then be signed by the Club's Advisor. The Director of Student Activities and Leadership Development and the club advisors are the only individuals who can commit the University to official contracts. No exceptions to this rule are possible.
