 *set rules, policies and timelines for [[student groups]] to receive recognition
 *award and distribute funding to recognized groups
 *provide recognized groups with various benefits such as a Columbia student group account and the ability to reserve space with [[University Events Management]], and in the case of some boards, the rights to use the Columbia logo, space in [[Dodge Fitness Center]], etc.
