The Department of ASUN Clubs & Orgs is made up of one director, one assistant director, and six-to-eight club commissioners. Club commissioners are designated to a specific coalition where they serve as a resource and guiding tool for ASUN recognized club leadership.

The purpose of Clubs & Orgs coalitions are to provide a space for community and collaboration amongst student organizations that have similar foundational values and goals.
