POLE is a pole fitness student group I began . POLE began spring semester in 2022. A student becomes a member by signing up and attending the first mandatory meeting. Members become official by adding them to the group operations via groupme and WesNest roster. The student group is horizontally run with- a group leader and a financial manager. The group leader can not be in they’re first or last year. P.O.L.E wants to cultivate a judge free safe zone for those on campus who want to express themselves physically through pole dancing. The group will be instrumental in holding this space by hosting intimate performances at a nearby fitness club in Hartford CT.

P.O.L.E will establish longevity and long-term effectiveness on campus by appointing a club leader at the end of the school year. In order to fulfill its intended mission of self awareness, the organization’s defining principles are to be inclusive, judgment free, healthy, and have fun! The group is committed to hosting an intimate performance at the end of the given school year depending on the capabilities of the members of the group.

The objective of the event is to engage with the community while showcasing what we did during the school year. The event would typically occur at the end of the school year in May. The club leader will host the event at an appropriate location on campus. The event will not require funding. The host leader will be responsible for confirming a location on campus for the event. A month prior the financial manager will be responsible for working with student involvement to promote the event.
