Undergraduate Student Organizations

The Jackson School of International Studies encourages participation in student activities and organizations as an excellent way to experience personal growth, meet new friends, share common interests with other students, faculty and staff, and have some fun outside the classroom. If you’d like to broaden your scope beyond the Jackson School, look for groups at UW that share your interests through UW Registered Student Organization Directory.
