Do you lead a student group? Are you interested in starting a group?

Joining a University-wide student organization can offer unique opportunities to connect with peers from across the University – not just those in your school or program. Getting involved means more than just attending meetings; it's about building community, developing leadership skills, and unlocking access to campus resources to support your academic and professional growth.

Our role is to provide guidance and support to help University-wide student organizations turn their ideas into action and shape the kind of community of which they want to belong.
