IUSA Congress approves online tool MyInvolvement

The IU Student Association Congress is working to improve and increase awareness of the online tool MyInvolvement, a website that connects students with organizations on campus that align with their interests.

The IUSA Congress proposed changes to MyInvolvement with Congress Resolutions 32 and 33. These changes would include a notification each semester to remind students to update their clubs’ pages, and would add school and major as filters so the clubs can decide which students would be most interested in their group.

Congress has discussed the changes they want to make to MyInvolvement with Student Life and Learning. Now the changes will be passed on to UITS, who will determine which ones are feasible for implementation. 

MyInvolvement provides contact information for campus organizations to get students involved quickly with the issues they are passionate about, said Scott Borer, vice president of the IUSA Congress.

“If IU students use MyInvolvement, they can save themselves time and find ways to improve the parts of campus that they care about most,” Borer said.

The changes they are able to make should be implemented as early as April, Borer said, so they are in place for the beginning of next year when freshmen arrive on campus.

According to IUSA Question of the Week data, 49 to 63 percent of students have never heard of the service. 

Congress allocated a total of $550 from their budget for labor related to the reforms and to the marketing efforts, Borer said.
