Editing Clubs

{{Incomplete}}

TAMS has a wide variety of '''clubs''' available to students including academics, fine arts, technology, and more! Clubs at TAMS are unique in that most, if not all, activities and [[events]] run by clubs are student driven. 

== Advised ==
Advised club status is given to select clubs. They receive a [[Staff|TAMS staff]] as an advisor and budget directly from TAMS Student Life. Additionally, Advised clubs have to adhere to specific rules regarding [[Executive#Exec Selection|exec selection]], usage of budget, events, etc.

== Independent Clubs ==
Independent (unadvised) clubs are officially registered with TAMS Student Life but are not given an advisor nor budget due to their relative youth and niche. Unadvised clubs frequently come and go and can be easily created.

__FORCETOC__

==Defunct Clubs==
RIP these clubs. Clubs die for many reasons. Some clubs become committees of larger clubs, some clubs merge with other clubs, some clubs are unable to form an exec team, and some clubs are no longer relevant in the TAMS community.
