Clubs & SIGs Insider

October | 2026
Greetings!

October is here, and we are thrilled to welcome many of you to campus for the Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC) on Wednesday, October 21, and Thursday, October 22, at the Science and Engineering Complex and the Graduate School of Education. ALC offers a valuable opportunity to hear updates from campus leaders and faculty, participate in volunteer training sessions, and connect with Club and SIG leadership from around the world. Comprehensive program information, including the schedule and attendee list, is available on the ALC website.

We would also like to thank everyone who participated in the New Leaders Orientation (NLO) earlier this week. Whether you are a new volunteer or a returning officer, it was a pleasure to see so many of you during the virtual sessions. Please visit Officers Lounge to access the NLO slide deck and other important resources from the session. We encourage you to share these materials with new and incoming board members for their reference.
