The complete list of ALL 1,000+ UF student organizations can be found on the GatorConnect page. Students join organizations and design teams to gain experience, join a community of peers working towards a common goal, and build their social and professional networks. It’s up to you to decide which organizations and how many organizations to join! Since you are an engineering student, it is encouraged that you join at least one engineering-related organization. The quality of your involvement (depth of contributions and long-term commitment) is valued more than quantity.
You can see department-sponsored and College-sponsored organizations by using the category filter feature found at the top left. You can also search for a particular word using the search bar at the top right. This list of engineering-related organizations has been carefully created by the HWCOE Center for Experiential Learning.

Types of Events: Peer Mentorship, Social, Workshops.
Membership: Open to any major, but mostly serves the needs of students in the STEM fields. Therefore, most events will be involving developments in science, tech, engineering, and math. Our membership consists of mostly undergrads, but grad students also enjoy coming to our events. Students simply join without formally applying, but they must register as a member for oSTEM, Inc so that we may keep track of member numbers. We will explain how to do this at the first GBM. Membership is quantified by members receiving wooden chips every time they come to an event/GBM, and the number of chips they have represents the amount of votes they have during the end-of-year election for new EBoard officers. If members are interested in joining, they only need to show up to an event that interests them. There is no quota system of how many meetings members must join to still be considered members.
