Preview Day
During Admitted Student Preview Day, admitted students are invited to join us on campus! They attend information sessions designed to help them prepare to enroll and move in, tour academic departments, and talk with faculty, advisors, and current students. It’s a great time for you to share about your organization and help these likely huskies see if this is the place they want to call home.
SLI and Admissions are looking for RSOs interested in sharing information about their organization and recruiting incoming students before they even move in! This opportunity is only available to the first 40 organizations. Please sign up here. The RSO tabling sessions will be on Saturday, March 22nd, from 11:30 am-1:15 pm in the MUB Commons. Coffee and donuts will be provided.
The MUB has space for your RSO!
As you begin planning events and meetings for next semester, this is a friendly reminder that Memorial Union Building (MUB) spaces are available to reserve now.

Risk Management Plans
When organizing any event, identify potential hazards, evaluate risks, and develop strategies to mitigate them. The safety of your members and participants is of utmost importance. Planning to manage risk helps to keep all those involved with your events and/or organization safe. If people feel safe, they are more willing to come back and continue to participate in your organization.
Risk management plans are required for any on-campus event that involves risk as well as any University Sponsored off-campus events, such as Keweenaw Day. An event that involves risk means an event or activity that a reasonable person would consider to have an element of risk. This would also include events/activities that could be less risky for advanced participants, but more risky for novice participants.
Just because an event is off-campus does not mean that there is less risk involved. It is encouraged that you create a risk management plan to ensure safety and success at any risky or potentially risky events.
How to create and submit a risk plan, as well as sample liability waivers, can be found on our website.
Have a great month,
Student Leadership and Involvement
