Students who want to get life experience as well as an education are encouraged to find out how to get involved in SIUE's many organizations.

The Kimmel Leadership Center will offer a Student Organization Activities Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31.

The Activities Fair will have representatives from many of the organizations on campus to answer questions and explain the benefits of their groups.

Cheryl Heard, assistant director in Kimmel Leadership Center, said the fair will be similar to Welcome Week because nearly all of the participating groups will be actively recruiting new members.

The Kimmel Leadership Center is also offering a Student Organization Institute from 5 to 8 p.m. Jan. 31.

Heard said the institute in the Morris University Center Conference Center is a workshop designed for current leaders of organizations as well as students who aspire to be leaders.

Sessions will include Web page development, fund-raising, running effective meetings and time management. Check in for the institute will be at 4:30 p.m. at the Conference Center. Refreshments will be served during the event.

Registration for both the Activities Fair and the institute are due by Jan. 19.
