The Contributions of Student Organizations
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee considers student organization activities and programs an integral part of the University’s mission. The programs and activities contribute significantly to the students’ total educational development and progress. Student activities provide experiences which stimulate interest and understanding of current social, economic, political, cultural or religious problems and issues. At the same time, they provide rewarding experiences that come from living and working in group projects with individuals of varying races, life-styles, creeds, and cultural backgrounds. In addition, student activities provide students with stimulation for intellectual growth, leadership development, democratic processes, and citizenship responsibilities.
Student Organization Recognition
Each year, student organizations, individual student leaders and members, and organization advisors contribute in countless ways to the quality and richness of life at UWM. The Student Activities Office seeks to recognized these contributions and accomplishments each year.
Recognition of Regional, National and International Awards
The Student Activities Office would like to encourage all student organizations to contact us with news and information on any awards the organization may have received. Such awards might be for service to an off-campus community or charity, excellence in the standards of a national or international organization or placing in competitive activities. If your organization would like to share news of such a form of recognition, please contact Tom Dake, Student Activities Advisor, at 229-1752 or at dake@uwm.edu.
Achievement Awards
Each year student organizations at UWM exceed expectations and prove to be exemplary. Through volunteering, sponsoring events/programs, and service to others, student organizations have worked hard to develop, grow, and make progress towards their goals. The Student Activities Office seeks to recognize these students and their organizations for their commitment to excellence.
Nominations for these awards are due March 2010 (specific date TBA) in the Student Activities Office, Union 363. Nominations may be submitted by students for one or more of the awards listed below. The Achievement Awards Ceremony will be held on April 2010. The ceremony will honor several categories of student and organizational leadership.
