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 and Executive Board Member. These student organizations' membership is open to all students.
