Campus Groups
Participating in the ongoing activities of campus groups is a way to learn about current issues on and off campus, to meet like-minded people, and to gain experience organizing events and having a positive impact on your community.
Please let us know if we can help connect you with any of the following groups on campus:
- UWinnipeg Experiential Learning
- UWinnipeg Student Services
- The University of Winnipeg Student Association
- Cultivate UW
- Geography and Environmental Students Association
- Grass Routes Festival

Student Groups are supported by The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association. A link to all student groups on campus can be found here.
