SGA Officers
SGA Officers and Senators are resources to assist every student organization. Feel free to stop by the office with questions, issue, compliments, and concerns.
Mailboxes
Every registered organization is provided a mailbox at the Campus Post Office, if available. Each organization is issued a mailbox key once by the Post Master. If the key is lost, the replacement fee is $10. It is recommended that you check your box at least weekly for information and important messages. If your organization uses the University as its mailing address, be sure your address is as follows:
(Name of your organization)
(Your campus box number)
University of the Incarnate Word
4301 Broadway
San Antonio, Texas 78209
Equipment
Tables and chairs can be reserved through Special Events. Audio-visual equipment can be reserved through the Media Center. A popcorn popper is also available for organization use. To reserve it, contact the Student Center Manager at jcompean@student.uiwtx.edu
University Facilities
The UESP Staff and the Director of Special Events will assist in finding and reserving appropriate facilities for your events. Please refer to the Event Approval Form.
University Vehicles
Registered student organizations can request the use of university vehicles for approved events as vehicles are available. The driver must be 21 or older and be a registered driver. In order to become a registered driver, the student must go to the Human Resources Office and submit his/her name, driver's license and date of birth. A Motor Vehicle check is run which takes about two weeks. If the driver has a clear record, he/she may be approved to become a registered driver and be eligible to drive University vehicles. Your event must be approved before reserving a vehicle. To check on availability and make reservations for a vehicle, call Vehicle Services at 829-3907.
