Social Events & Advertising:: Christos Reppas

How did you find out about the Biology Club? Was it from reading an interesting flyer on the wall in Lapham Hall or seeing a chalked message on the sidewalk? If so, that was the work of our Recruitment officers. They are in charge of getting new members, advertising club meetings, and planning social events.

Fundraising:: Richard Bartkowiak

While being an official UWM Club means we get some funding from the University, if we want to do big things, it's up to us to find the money! Current and past fundraising efforts include receiving donations for coffee at weekly Colloquia and selling our T-shirts! Stay tuned for the next printing of T-shirts and make sure to get your order in early to get the best deal.

Bulletin Board:: Monica Yang

We have a wonderful bulletin board on the first floor near the Biology Department office that has a calendar, tutoring flyers, announcements, newsletters and sometimes photos of club activities. Check it when you're in the building to stay up to date on events and happenings. Do you have something you want to post? Just ask us.

Service:: Jessica Nowicki

While it's fun to talk about Biology and socialize, it's also great to give back to the community. That's what the Volunteerism/Service Committee is all about! Various service opportunities around town and even on campus abound. Regular opportunities include the Downer Woods Clean-up, wo/manning the Biology Department booth at the UWM Open House, participating in the RAK-A-Thon and Hunger Clean-Up through the Center for Volunteerism and Student Leadership, and coordinating campus blood-drives.

If you are interested in helping out with any of these positions or have ideas to contribute, please email the Committee Contacts, they would love to hear from you!
