Recognized Student Organizations
Students are encouraged to join or develop organizations that unite members with a common cause or interest. Such organizations allow students to pursue specialized interests and to have an opportunity to interact with classmates and professors in an atmosphere different from that of the classroom. Involvement in student organizations also provides a means of practicing leadership skills, time management, event planning, and public speaking.

The Office of Student Life also provides various resources for student organization development, materials, and training on UT Permian Basin policies.
