WUD Society & Politics Committee Meeting

Wisconsin Union Directorate’s Society & Politics Committee (SoPo) is a nonpartisan organization on the UW-Madison campus dedicated to fostering respectful discourse on social and political issues among students. This year, our committee is working eagerly to establish engaging and educational programming through non-traditional means. We aim to amplify student voices - especially those in marginalized communities - by empowering them to create conversations that are often not openly discussed on campus. One of the ways we are achieving this goal is through our newly launched YouTube talk show “Badger Vibe Check!”. The show is a no-frills, student-run, come-as-you-are platform offered to any student who wishes to take their message on any social or political issues affecting them campus-wide. Other programming and events being supported by WUD SoPo this year include bi-monthly discussion meetings, guest lecture events, and casual, creative social events.
