Additionally, there are numerous opportunities for growth within the organization. All of our leaders on the Executive Board and Leadership Team started as General Body members.

You'll gain direct access to a powerful network of university staff, alumni, corporate sponsors, and other passionate student leaders, making this experience great for personal and professional development.
