Most campus clubs start with energy and fade by the second semester. The ones that last share a few habits: a clear reason to exist, a small committed core team, and a rhythm of activities that students can count on.
Start by talking to twenty students. Ask what they want to learn, build, or meet. Their answers become your first calendar.
Then pick one recurring format — a fortnightly build night, a monthly founder conversation — and run it consistently before adding anything else.
Finally, document everything. A simple shared record of what worked lets the next batch of leaders keep the community alive.
