3. Club Duties
CUPC is a cooperative organization, meaning everything in this club—including studio maintenance, the process of pottery making, and club logistics—is handled entirely by its members. By applying to join the club, you acknowledge that you will be expected to help run the club by donating your time and following the instructions of your committee chairs. Here is a list of basic responsibilities you must perform upon joining the club.
