Registered Student Organization Resource Center

The Resource Center, currently located on the HUB law during the renovation, is a student-run, multi-function office for use by Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) that is funded annually by the Student Activities Fee.

RSOs may use the Resource Center and its many resources to help plan their events, activities and meetings, and aid in their recruitment, networking and marketing efforts. The Resource Center provides access to computers [macs and pcs], printers, fax machine, copier, tables, tents, and other equipment.

More information is available from the Registered Student Organization Resource Center online.

Funding

Student Organizations can receive funding from the SBA in two ways.  First, at the beginning of each academic year, Student Orgs are asked to submit budgets to the Vice President of Student Organizations.  Those budgets are used by the Budget Committee in creating the overall budget for that year.  Each Student Organization will receive an initial budget allocation as a result of that process.  Throughout the year, Student Organizations may apply for supplemental funding beyond their initial allocation.  For more details on the budget process, please contact the Vice President for Student Organizations.

Event Planning

The law school hosts many events and meetings that are of interest to all students, faculty and staff. Events and meetings also often have the same audience that would like to attend. Student groups and organizations should make every attempt to ensure that planned meetings and functions don't conflict with other law school events.

Steps for Planning a Meeting or Event:

  • Check the calendar to view other events that might be scheduled for the dates you have in mind.
  • Add the event or meeting to the calendar. If you are scheduling an event, then you will also need to edit the event and add room reservations for it. All events and meetings will remain in a "proposed" state until they are reviewed by UW Law staff.
