Benefits of Registered Student Organizations
Being a registered student organization at The University of Texas at Austin has many benefits. Student organizations have the privilege of using on-campus facilities, banking services, raising funds, sponsoring speakers and public performances, and distributing literature. One of the most important benefits of being a registered student organization is access to the staff in Student Activities & Leadership Development (SALD) for assistance in program planning, risk management, conflict resolution, fundraising, or other issues related to your student organization.
Beyond the obvious advantages of being a registered student organization on campus, there are many other rewards for students who engage in student organization activities. First, student organizations add an important component to campus life at The University of Texas at Austin by providing an outlet for the student voice to be heard and a vehicle for students to have a substantial impact on campus. Secondly, students gain valuable experience in the practical aspects of leadership, communication, risk management, and teamwork. Finally, it is our experience that students who are involved on campus are more likely to be successful in college and to gain more from their time at UT Austin. For all of these reasons, SALD would like to congratulate you on your good decision to get involved and make a difference at The University of Texas at Austin.
