Don't be shy: get involved this fall

Looking for a way to get more involved on campus and make new friends? Contrary to popular perception, two-year universities often have tons of activities available for students outside the classroom. With more than two dozen active student clubs welcoming new members this fall, UW-Waukesha has something for everyone.
The great aspect of these organizations is that they are student led. Students are given freedom to develop clubs and lead them how they wish-often resulting in creative, innovative, and fun events for everyone. For example, Campus Crusade for Christ put on "Rockin' the Hub" this past spring semester, a free event for all students featuring three local rock bands.
Student Government Association hosted a blood drive in April 09, and New Horizons organized a campus clean-up day. These are only a few examples of the vibrant activity of these clubs on campus.
If you're interested in conservative politics join College republicans; if you're an outdoors person, go on adventurous excursions with Ecology Club. For the book worms there is literary Club and the movie buffs Film Club.
Everything from a Self-defense Club to a Pop Culture Club exists on campus, so everyone is likely to find a group appealing.
If there doesn't happen to be an existing organization that sparks your interest, you can instead begin one of your own. New organizations can be formed through a few simple steps. First, you must have at least two other interested members. Second, you must speak with an advisor from the office of Student Development about your proposed club. Lastly, head to the Student Government office to request the approval of student legislators; wherein (if approved) your organization will receive funding, SGA support, and will be recognized as an official association of UW-Waukesha.
The founding of new organizations is no rarity on campus; Pre-Health Care Club and Self-Defense Club were both conceived last year.
What's the best part of getting involved in campus organizations? When asked this question, Adam Vanderwerff, President of Student Government Association, impulsively answers, "Networking. I've made friends all across the state."
Becky Smiltneek, President of Campus Crusade for Christ and observer news editor says, "Clubs are a great way to develop your leadership skills, network, and just have fun-all with campus funding."
Our campus is one of opportunity waiting to be seized. Experience the full benefits of being a Cougar by seeking out an organization that best suits your interests, so that your college experience here at UW-Waukesha is as satisfying as it should be.
