Get Active: SIUE

What's going on around campus?  Believe it or not, there are people here at SIUE interested in social change, just like you!   Where are they?  What are they doing?   The first thing you might want to do to educate yourself is notice the signs posted around campus by the various groups.  The signs often give you the dates and times of meeting. Further, The Kimmel Leadership Center, located in the UC, has a list of all the student groups available. Further, the center can give you names of adivsors and presidents.

You might also think about getting involved in the Women's Studies Program.
Finally, If you don't see a student organization that you are interested in, think about starting one yourself.  All you need is a faculty advisor and a few interested people!  SIUE could only gain from more progressive activism!  Contact Kimmel for more information on how to get started!
