How to Join Student WEA:

In an unofficial capacity, you may attend meetings and participate in most events, and contribute much like our official members. In this way; however, you will miss out on our biggest events, you will be ineligible for prizes, and you will not receive a certificate of membership at the end. This also means that you will not receive the insurance and financial benefits listed below.

 

Steps to Officially Join Student WEA:

 

  1. Register and pay dues. Cost of dues decrease when more years are purchased at one time.
    $31 For one year
    $54 For two years
    $73 For three years
    $89 For four years
  2. Create an OrgSync account and request to be added (you will not be denied) to UW-Eau Claire's Student WEA chapter.
  3. Check out the event calendar for upcoming meetings and watch your inbox for updates! We're glad to have new members aboard, and we hope you can learn as much and have as much fun as we've been having over the years.
