RSO Updates, Resources & Deadlines

Hello, UWM Student Leaders!

Fall semester is finally here, and we need student organizations - now more than ever - to develop safe ways to bring together students to connect with peers, learn together, and build skills for careers and life after college.

As student leaders, we ask that you commit to the Panther Pledge and make choices that support your health and well-being. The UWM Union Staff in Student Involvement and Event Services are here to help you plan safe on-campus events and develop virtual options for those away from campus. This year, we will be creative problem-solvers together! We are counting on you to make good choices that support a successful academic year.

Need something fun to do over the holiday weekend? Check out UWM's AWESOME (and social distance-friendly) Fall Welcome events!

Speaking of Fall Welcome! Although this year looks a little different, student organizations are engaging virtually this month with the Virtual Involvement Fair, Student Organization Conference Night, Liaison Meet-and-Greets, and more!

We are excited to be working with CampusGroups, our Involvement Fair platform, to make sure UWM's 300+ student organizations are a part of Fall Welcome. RSO Officers will receive a step-by-step guide to set up your booth on Sunday. For now, get a head start and check out this video from CampusGroups.

If you have any additional questions, reach out to your liaison!

Sincerely,

Student Involvement Staff
