OMSS leadership and involvement opportunities prepare students so they can serve as role-model leaders and peer mentors for those yet to come at UWL and beyond.  One way to engage is to take advantage of involvement endeavors within the 7 UWL Multicultural Student Organizations, either as an attendee or an Executive Board Member.  Membership in these student organizations is open to all students. 

Student Leaders/Execs, find the Multicultural Student Organization Handbook here- MSOH
