New Officer Workshop
The Involvement Center will be holding a new officer workshop where we'll be going through CONNECT, resources for orgs, and more. This will be offered three times and is great for both new officers starting out and those wanting a refresher.
The Spring Involvement Fair is Thursday, January 26th from 5-7PM. Space is limited so if your org wants to participate, please register here to guarantee a spot.
Once you are registered, you do not need to make a CONNECT event. You will be added as a cohost to Involvement's event.

Are you a senior graduating in Spring of 2023 or Fall of 2023? If so, then apply for the Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award. This is the highest non-academic award given to students at Stout who have positively impacted the campus. Applicants will be notified of their selection in March/April and recipients will be honored during the Leadership Awards.
