Our first week of class is almost here! Here are some updates on things happening in the first month of school.
K-Day Registration
K-Day registration is still open! At this time we have 188 organizations registered, with an event capacity of 200 RSOs. You can see what RSOs have registered here. The deadline to register for K-Day is August 29th at noon. We fully anticipate all 200 spots to be filled, so do not delay – register today! K-Day will be held on September 5th from 1:00-5:00 PM at Chassell Centennial Park.
If your RSO members need service hours or just like helping out, they can sign up to volunteer at K-Day on our GivePulse page. Our volunteers are super important to make the day run smoothly.
RSO Council Meetings
At the end of last year, we started an RSO council structure to better support our RSO officers and give them a chance to talk with officers of similar organizations. We are continuing that this year, and the first council meetings will occur in the coming weeks. Your SLI staff liaison will be in contact regarding your council meeting, but you can also see the dates for all council meetings, along with other important dates for RSOs, on our RSO Important Dates Calendar.
RSO Re-Registration and Training is Live
RSO officer training and Re-registration is live. Required officers (President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Advisor) must complete the training on Canvas (Receive 100% on every quiz). Your organization’s president must also complete the re-registration form on Involvement Link. All officer training and the re-registration form must be completed by September 22, 2025, by 8:00 AM. Failure to complete your training on time will result in a decrease in your organization’s budget for this academic year and a potential loss of privileges granted to registered groups. Please see the schedule below:
- You will receive 100% of your allocation if registered by 09/22/25.
- You will receive 90% of your allocation if registered by 09/26/25.
- You will receive 75% of your allocation if registered by 10/3/25.
- You will receive 0% of your allocation if registered after 10/10/25.
Check your organization’s re-registration and training progress.
Update Officers on Involvement Link
If your RSO officers or advisors are not accurate on Involvement Link, the wrong people will get your re-registration information and training. To update your officers or advisors on Involvement link, presidents are required to fill out our E-Board Position Update Form. Please note: Only required officers (President, Treasurer, Secretary, Advisor) need to be added through the form. Organization-created positions can be updated directly on Involvement Link.
Homecoming
This year’s theme is “Where the Wild Huskies Are!” Homecoming 2025 is packed with a fun lineup of events. We now have three ways for people to participate in Homecoming. You can create a team for the Competitive League or the Non-Competitive League. Or, if you feel like having a relaxing Homecoming, you can join us for some of our Chill Events. Subscribe to the Google Calendar to ensure you don’t miss an event. You can register a team here, but don’t forget to show up to the mandatory Team Meeting on September 9th at 6:30 pm in the MUB Alumni Lounge. Only one of your members needs to go to the meeting.
Parade of Nations
The Parade of Nations and Multicultural Festival, held on September 20th, celebrates multiculturalism and ethnic representation in the Keweenaw with a colorful parade of flag-bearing students, staff, and community members. More than eighty nations are represented in this popular event.
Campus clubs and organizations are especially encouraged to take part! You can walk in the parade by carrying a flag and representing a nation of your choice, or go bigger by building a float that showcases your group’s creativity and spirit while celebrating this year’s theme. Float entries are eligible to compete for prize money, and student organizations may apply for up to $100 in grant funding to help cover building costs.
Volunteers are also an important part of making this day a success. If you or any of your members would like to volunteer at the event, sign up on the Parade of Nations GivePulse.
