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 seven 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
