Get Your Club Involved!

There are many ways to get your student organization involved around campus. Becoming involved in campus-wide events brings your group public exposure to the UMD campus community, making you more well-known, and drawing new student membership to your club. Having your name out there may also make any fundraisers you conduct more successful because students, faculty, and staff will be familiar with who you are and the purpose of your club – making them more likely to spend money in support of the organization.

Simply contact us in Student Activities - KSC 115, if you are interested in being involved in any of the below events!  You can also email Lacey, our Student Traditions Manager, at solhe048@d.umn.edu, for more information!

Bulldog Bash & the Student Activities Fair : Move-In Weekend-the First Week of School  (Tuesday, Sept. 8th, 2009 is the first day of school this year!)

If your willing to do some work, your club can get some excellent exposure and recruiting skills starting the very first week of school. From helping students move into the dorms, hosting events, and setting up a table at the student involvement fair to recruit new students and pass out information, your club can really get its name out there.  Contact the First Year Experience Office if you are interested in helping over Bulldog Bash.  The Student Activities Fair has limited space so watch for sign up info during the summer – and don’t be late!
