Can University Investment Group Positions be Considered as Work Experience on a Job Application?
What is the best way to approach including non-traditional work experience, such as university extracurricular roles like being an analyst for my university's investment group (no comp), on a job application when you have no relevant work experience (only shitty college summer jobs)? I already have my positions in the group and everything on my resume but should I include it on job applications under work experience to avoid being dinged for having no relevant experience, or leave them out.
I am mainly applying for ER roles and that is what my roles in the group have been for different sectors.
Work experience only counts if it's at FT Partners (140k AN1 base)

Leadership and Involvement or Leadership and Relevant Experience section. Cannot put this in Professional Experience.
These clubs and leadership roles in them should be placed under "Leadership and Extracurricular"/"Other Experiences" section. It should definitely not appear in "professional/relevant" experiences.
That said, you should not be excluding your summer jobs from your CV when you have nothing else. Did you learn nothing from the jobs? Did you gain no transferrable skills? I very much doubt that. Put them on, change "Relevant work experience" to "Work Experience", and talk about what you did. It's at least something, shows that you at least busied yourself over summer.
