Student
Organizations
Student organizations are a vital part of the Alverno
College community. We have approximately 30 active student organizations
that are committed to making a difference, networking, developing
skills, fundraising, offering service, planning programs, promoting
activism, sharing information and…having FUN!
Take a look at our student organizations. If you
are interested in starting a new organization or have questions
about the current organizations, contact the Director of Student
Life, Brooke Wegner, at 414-382-6317, toll-free at 800-933-3401,
or e-mail Brooke Wegner.
Student Involvement Fair
The Student Involvement Fair is held
every September and February. All student organizations are invited
to the fair in order to provide information and recruit new members.
Students are encouraged to attend in order to find out what opportunities
are available for campus involvement and to ask any questions they
may have. The Student Involvement Fair is a great way to check out
what is happening outside of the classroom and to join an organization!
Student Leadership Opportunities
There are multiple leadership opportunities
at Alverno. Students are encouraged to get involved, join a student
group, and to have a voice on campus. Student Life also provides
several different ways to build leadership skills.
MUCAO
Alverno is part of the Milwaukee United Campus Activities Organization
(MUCAO), a coalition of college and university students and professional
staff involved in programming, leadership development, student organizations,
and their activities. MUCAO hosts an annual fall leadership development
workshop. For more information, go to http://www.msoe.edu/st_life/mucao/.
Leadershop
Every semester Student Life hosts a leadership seminar
for Alverno students. This seminar focuses on further developing
skills students use in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
Past Leadershops have included sessions on time management, the
art of delegation, and how to facilitate an effective meeting. Contact
the Brooke Wegner, Director of Student Life, to find out when the
next Leadershop will be held!
Orientation Leaders
Students in their sophomore or junior years are recruited to become
Orientation Leaders to assist with summer orientation and overnight
activities for new students. Orientation Leaders receive a small
monetary payment and the opportunity to connect with incoming students.
Applications will be accepted February through mid-March. To apply,
complete the application (pdf)
and return it to Brooke Wegner, Director of Student Life.
Student Leadership Reception
Student Life knows that Alverno student leaders are some of the
hardest working people around. The Student Leadership Reception
is held every May to recognize and honor student leaders. Organizations
are encouraged to apply for Excellence in Leadership Awards as well.
Information on these awards can be found in Student Life.
Student Group Council
Student Life sponsors Student Group
Council (SGC) on the first Tuesday of every month for leaders of
student organizations. A representative from each organization is
expected to attend. SGC is a great opportunity for leaders to update
each other on their activities, to find opportunities for collaboration,
and to keep informed on college policy and news. For the next SGC
date and location, contact the Director of Student Life Brooke
Wegner.
