Building your leadership skills as a new leader of an established organization?
• Looking for suggestions to help your organization function more effectively?

Advising a student organization for the first time?

Look no further! Simply select a topic from the Student Organizations & Advisor Handbook Contents, on the left, and find the answers to your questions. This handbook has been created to support new and established student organizations by providing information on policies and procedures of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside by which they are governed. A student organization should not assume that it might rightfully engage in any activity that is not specifically restricted by University regulations. If there is any doubt as to the appropriateness of the activity, the organization should contact the Student Activities Office in advance for advice.
