Student Organizations and Activities

Many opportunities exist for students to participate in educational and social organizations at UW-Superior. Participation will enhance students’ educational experience, provide opportunity for professional growth, and provide personal satisfaction.

The following is a list of recognized student organizations at UW-Superior:

If a group of students is seeking to be a recognized student organization, or for an updated list of recognized organizations, contact the University Student Senate at ext. 8432.

Becoming a recognized student organization does not imply that the University Student Senate or the university endorses the organization’s beliefs, but it does provide groups with the opportunity to enjoy the following benefits: use of the university name in the organization’s title, use of university facilities for organization activities, campus advertising privileges, use of administrative services, and opportunity to apply for student funding through SUFAC funds.
