Update links to Social Media on Involvement Link
During RSO Re-registration, we came across many links on RSO Involvement Link pages that were broken or led to unused social media accounts. Please check the links on your RSO homepage to make sure they are still up to date. This is especially important if you need to update your Instagram account to meet the new branding standards. Updating your Instagram may have changed the URL to your page. You can update these links on the “About” tab on your RSO homepage.
New RSO Policy – Use of University Resources for Political Campaign Activity
As we navigate the midterm election season, we want to ensure all RSOs have clear guidance on how to participate in the political process lawfully and in accordance with state regulations. To provide greater clarity, we are introducing a new Registered Student Organization Policy on the “Use of University Resources for Political Campaign Activity,” effective immediately. All organizations are encouraged to review the full policy to ensure compliance with the Michigan Campaign Finance Act.
Posting Matrix and Procedure Reminder
Make sure to review the Posting and Digital Displays Procedures before distributing materials in the residence halls. These guidelines outline where and how posters can be displayed to keep campus signage organized and consistent.
Please note that the Posting Matrix has been updated. The total number of posters on campus is 29. The residence halls need 65 to get one for each of the RAs to get them in all the halls. Posters that are going in the residence halls must include the Equal Opportunity tagline.
Upcoming HuskyLEADs
Great leaders know they can’t do everything on their own. In this session, you’ll learn how to delegate with purpose by matching responsibilities to individual strengths, providing the right level of support, and following up for success. You’ll leave with practical techniques you can immediately apply to your organizations and leadership roles.

Help Your Organization Win $100
It’s an election year, and we want every eligible Husky to vote! To get ready, we are turning voter preparation into a friendly student organization competition.
Two different Registered Student Organizations will each win $100 in funding*:
- The group with the highest total number of members who submit a vote plan
- The group with the highest proportion of members who submit a vote plan
All plans submitted between the start of the semester and Sunday, November 1 will be counted. Submit your plan today and then encourage your RSO members to do so as well!
Membership will be verified against your roster on Involvement Link, and your active student membership count (which is pulled from Involvement Link) will be used to calculate the proportion of membership. Make sure your roster is up to date on Involvement Link to maximize your chances of winning!
*Funding will be made available in an RSO donation account on Involvement Link. Groups will receive instructions on how to utilize these funds after they have been awarded. They can be used for any university-permitted organizational expenses.
