Office for Student Organizations, Leadership & Involvement at UW-Madison

This month, SOLI celebrated our Leadership Certificate ceremony, recognizing 130 students who have dedicated their time in college to meaningful leadership experience, learning, and reflection both inside and outside of the classroom.

Through education, volunteerism, involvement, and more, the Leadership Certificate program has provided students with the opportunity to reflect on their leadership journeys since 2002.

We acknowledge these students for their contributions and passion. Congratulations to this semester’s Leadership Certificate recipients!!

SOLI wrapped up a year of growth, opportunity, and excitement with our end-of- semester celebration!! We had a wonderful time celebrating and recognizing our student staff and professional staff for all their hard work.

Here’s to another year with SOLI. We’re so grateful for each individual who brings so much perspective and dedication to our team. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for our graduates and for our returning staff next semester!

Wishing everyone a fun and relaxing summer!

It's Student Employee Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to celebrate our SOLI student staff! 🎉

Our student employees bring dedication, creativity, and energy to everything they do, and our office wouldn't be the same without them. Thank you for all that you contribute!

Join us at the RSO Print & Resource Center (PRC) on Tuesday, April 15 from 4:30–6:00 PM for a hands-on workshop focused on creating your own custom-branded garment!

Participants will explore the process of making custom shirts using PRC tools and equipment(Cricut), from selecting a design to pressing the final piece. No prior design or printing experience is needed. PRC staff will be available throughout the session to guide you and answer questions.

This event is a great opportunity to try something new and connect with other students.

Garments will be free for those who RSVP! (while supplies last), and feel free to stick around afterward and have some ice cream at 5:30PM.
