Student Organization Training

Ongoing Leadership Development

Leadership is one of the pillars of Marquette. Leadership, in an Ignatian sense, encompasses being a contemplative in action—that is a reflective and active leader who is part of the community.  As student leaders we want to invest in your formation.

All undergraduate student organizations are required to attend trainings throughout the year. See below for details. 

Graduate student organizations should reach out to the Graduate School regarding training requirements.

  1. All organizations are required to attend Org Essentials. You must send at least one member of the E-Board. This is a 1 hour session that will overview student organization policies and resources. See below for dates and times.

This 1 hour training will overview the updated Practice Space and Show Policy as well as provide helpful timelines for planning a large scale event. You must send any and all E-board members who are involved in the planning of your large scale event. See below for dates and times.
  4. All organizations are required to attend Transitions & Getting Ready for End of Year training. This is a 1 hour training going over how to prepare your organization for transition of new officers and what you need for Org Renewal. At least one member of the E-Board must attend.
