Current UW Students – Student Groups for both SBSE and ESRM students
Current UW students can join a variety of Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), and we have a number of RSOs here that are open to all UW students. Becoming involved in one of our RSOs is a great way to meet folks and learn more about the majors in a low-stress environment:
- The SBSE major has one principal RSO – TAPPI, aka the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry. TAPPI is a student organization that connects students to learn more about the pulp, paper and bioresource industries. TAPPI aims to provide students opportunities with direct industry networking, site visits, hands-on engineering projects, and a social community where students interested in the field can connect. If you’re interested in becoming a part of TAPPI and learning about upcoming events, fill out their interest form here and follow their Instagram page.
- The ESRM major has a number of different RSOs, which are listed in the student group section of the web site.
