Hello UWM Student Leaders,

Summer is more than halfway over, and the start of the new school year will be here before you know it! A reminder that all student orgs should be checking items off their to-do list on the "Road to Renewal" Canvas site .

Need a refresh on what's due when? Our Dates & Deadlines Doc gives you a complete overview for the year ahead! Here's what's happening this month and next...

JULY

July 1: SAC grant allocations for the fall semester are available - start spending! And a reminder, Spring 2020 grants which were not used may be spent during the Fall 2020 semester. Any changes must have been approved by a redistribution in Spring.
July 1: The form is available to sign up for the Fall Involvement Fair on Panther Presence.

AUGUST

AUGUST 1: Enrollment Check! Ensure that your Org Profile is up-to-date and all officers are current.

If you are curious on where your group is on the Road to Renewal, take a peak at our new Renewal Tracking Spreadsheet !

Please reach out to us if you have any questions about the renewal process! You can also defer to our list of Student Org FAQ's for Fall 2020 .

Sincerely,

Student Involvement Staff
