The staff of the Student Activities Office (SAO) encourages UW students to participate in student activities and student government as an excellent way to experience personal growth, meet new friends, share common interests with other students, faculty and staff. The goal of SAO, a unit of the HUB, is to help students develop skills in leadership, event planning and management, decision-making, communication, goal setting, fiscal management, marketing and promotion, and even more importantly, to make life at UW fun and memorable.
The SAO helps over 750 RSOs register every year. The SAO is committed to assisting RSOs in putting on quality events, being an effective organization and developing leadership skills.
SAO advises the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW), the undergraduate student government. ASUW provides an array of employment, elected, and volunteer opportunities to UW students as well as representing the UW student body in many levels of campus administration.
