| Description | The Women's Rugby club consists of players of all experience levels and athletic abilities. They compete in Division III in NERFU rugby union and travel to many New England schools throughout the season. We coordinate all our own practices, matches and activities. It's a great way to meet new people, play a competitive sport, and in in shape during college. |

| Description | The purpose of the Writer's Guild is to provide activities of interest to student writers at UMF. It will sponsor the appearances of visiting writers on campus. The Visiting Writers Series will consist of distinguished, published authors, at least one in each of the three genres (poetry, fiction, non-fiction) per semester. These writers will be paid a stipend from the Student Activity Fee fund as necessary. It will serve as link between visiting writers and UMF students, particularly Bachelor of Fine Arts in creative writing majors. It will publish the Sandy River Review twice per year: once in the fall semester, and once in the spring semester, as outlined in Articles IX and X. It will provide a forum for student writers to read their works at meetings and through other methods. |
