Students from the Center for Campus Involvement pass out prizes

Overview

Participating in a student organization enriches the student experience and gives students the opportunity to explore new interests, develop skills, enhance their academic program, have an impact on the university community, as well as finding friends and a sense of community. In the virtual space, finding community is more important than ever, but it is also more challenging.

Michigan is home to over 1,600 student organizations, each with a unique set of objectives — recreational, athletic, social, cultural, or political, and many of these organizations are still operating in the virtual space. Students interested in getting involved with student organizations can find a listing of all recognized student organizations online through the “Maize Pages”.

Center for Campus Involvement & University Unions

The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) and the University Unions are at the core of student involvement and activity on campus. The Center for Campus Involvement is a part of University Unions, and is the source for everything there is to know about activities on campus—including virtual events and programs. They are also the experts on student organizations, from how to find them, how to join them, and even how to start them! CCI also offers free leadership and development programs that can build your student's skills and look great on their resume.

CCI will be hosting an informational session for students on "Finding Community in Virtual Spaces" on January 22 and 23. CCI will also host a virtual "Winterfest," the annual winter term student organization recruitment fair, in early February. Additional information about both of these virtual events can be found online.
