The Foster School of Business encourages participation in student activities and organizations as an excellent way to experience personal growth, meet new friends, share common interests with other students, faculty and staff, and have some fun outside the classroom. Through participation in these organizations, students can enhance leadership and engage in experiential learning while working to fulfill organizational goals. Foster Registered Student Organization (RSO) officers can access the Foster RSO SharePoint as a resource for frequently asked questions, guidelines for organizations, discussion boards and other useful links to maximize success. If you’d like to broaden your scope beyond the business school, look for groups at UW that share your interests through UW Registered Student Organization Directory.
