Club Camp is an all-day officer training that's held in mid-September before the Autumn Quarter begins, is required for all Registered Student Organizations for the upcoming academic year to have at least two members attend this event. During Club Camp, RSO officers will learn about the various resources that are available for their organization, as well as policies and procedures that they should be aware of. In addition, attendees will have the chance to do goal setting, network with other RSO officers, and go to different workshops put on by UW Tacoma staff and student leaders. Past workshops included marketing and advertising, collaborating with organizations and departments, and transferring your officer role onto a resume.
