ORGANIZATION AND CAMPUS RESOURCE FAIR – Party with the Panther
The annual Party with the Panther event will be held Wednesday, September 6, 2006 in Spaights Plaza from 11 am to 1 pm. This is a great way to promote your organization and get more members. Organizations may sign up for a booth space by sending an email to activities[at]uwm.edu (Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis). Open tables at 11:00 am on that day will be given to organizations on the waiting list. Due to the staffing shortage in SAO this event will not include the inflatable carnival games or any other entertainment features. There will be free food and music playing part of the time.
STUDENT ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION RENEWALS
Renewal forms will be sent out the last week of August via campus mail. All student organizations must fill out, sign, and return their form prior to September 22nd to remain active on campus. Groups failing to turn in their renewal forms will become inactive and lose all university privileges, such as: segregated fee funding, room reservations, office space, etc. The form is required, even if you turned in a change of officer form in the summer. We encourage people to get them in sooner, so that new students can be given more accurate information about clubs and groups on campus. Please check with all your officers to make sure someone turns in this form by the posted deadline.

THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP RETREAT
The Student Leadership Retreat is an annual trip to Camp Minikani for students at UWM that are interested in improving there leadership skills and making their campus and community a better place. This year the retreat is planned for September 16 & 17. The retreat is free to all students as a thank you for the important work that they do in providing UWM with direction, programming, and service. Students will stay overnight at the camp and participate in a number of different activities and workshops. Some of these activities may include a personality type exercise, a ROPES course, camp wide games, a movie about leadership, and a social bonfire. This weekend is a great way to meet other leaders around campus, learn new skills and make new friends! For more information about the leadership retreat, email Laurie Marks at: lmarks[at]uwm.edu.
