At Northwestern, central to our university's mission is our commitment to the personal and intellectual growth of our students. While academics and intellectual development are obvious pursuits of college students, we also want to address personal development as an educational community.

Organizational development, or "planned change," is natural, can be required, and leads to an overall well-being of the group and all its members involved. Within the Center for Student Involvement, we hope to help organizations promote healthy change by giving groups tools on how to develop and manage an organization effectively.   Annual programming and resources that we provide include:

• Advisor Resources
• Student Organization Symposium (S.O.S.)
• Space Allocation
• NUnite
• Seminars on Organization and Advising Resources (S.O.AR.) Certification

• How do you fight apathy in a student group?
• What makes a successful retreat?
• And how do you fundraise effectively?
  
  Get help with questions like these at the S.O.A.R. Tips Page, a resource page that offers assistance for common questions and problems that arise in student groups.
