Whether you’re planning a quick get-together or a large campus event, we’re here to help you find a space that works for you! Student organizations can reserve spaces for one-time, weekly, or bi-weekly meetings, as well as larger events throughout the semester. Planning ahead is encouraged! Reservations for the fall semester typically open around mid-April, while spring semester reservations typically open around mid-November.

Have something extra special in the works? If your event is sponsored by a student organization or department and is expected to welcome more than 70 attendees, be sure to review the Special Event Policy in Section 5.1 for additional information and requirements.

Involvement Fair & Spreadsheet Questions

The Involvement Office works to ensure that all information regarding Involvement Fair tabling is communicated to student organizations in a timely manner when the fair approaches.

As for the organization spreadsheet, we review, update, and approve submitted forms daily leading up to the Fall and Spring Organization Registration (Org Rec) deadlines. This helps ensure that organization information is accurate and up to date.

Throughout this process, we also send email reminders and updates to organization presidents, vice presidents, and advisors to keep everyone informed of important deadlines, requirements, and next steps. Our goal is to make sure everyone stays on track, meets the necessary requirements, and is prepared for each deadline.

Steps to update organization roles -

Open UW-Whitewater Connect2 and sign in.
Find and open your student organization's page.
Look for the Dashboard or organization management tools.
Find Officers and Go to Add Officer
Locate the student whose role you want to change and look for an edit or position option.
Select the correct position, such as President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, or another officer role, and save the change.

Important: We require student organizations to keep officer and advisor information updated in Connect2. If you cannot edit the roster, contact us at Orgs@uww.edu.
