The ASUO has a variety of stundent programs ranging from the Multicultural center to the Women's Center.
In The ASUO Executive Office, our goal is to make student's lives better. We fight for the rights of students here on campus, in the State Legislature, and even in Washington, DC.. This fall we registered 3,500 students to vote and educated students about canidates and turned out folks to the polls on election day. In winter we will hold a Book Swap to save students money on books and this spring we will lobby in Salem to freeze touition and raise what we pay our faculty. ASUO has so many possibilities raning from accounting to public relations, from increasing the night life on campus to increasing the diversity on camus. You can intern or volunteer in our office and even earn cource credit. Whatever level of involvement you want, we have an oppertunity for you.
Don't let these years slip by and be mediocre. Find your niche and get involved in something bigger. Stop by the ASUO office, Suite 4 in the breezeway of the EMU and check out all there is to do.
