*Get Involved at URock*

Research shows that students do academically better, enjoy college more and
take away a broader experience when they get involved in school outside of
the classroom. There are some good student organizations that could use
your help. The Student Association is the local group that sponsors
activities using your student activity fees. They invite you to be a member
of their board. Contact Brent Adams <[log in to unmask]> for more
info. In addition the URock Honors Program sponsors other types of
activities like Expressions Night and community service projects. For more
info on that one contact Richard Fortuna.
<[log in to unmask]>URock is always looking for its next set
of student leaders!
