Students have an opportunity to get connected with organizations on and off campus during involvement week, or iWeek.
iWeek is a three-day event held in Legacy hall Sept. 2-4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that focuses on connecting students with service organizations, clubs and campus departments and services that are available to them.
“iWeek is the last push to help students get connected before they start getting busy,” Alex Montoya, senior Broadcast and Advertising and Public Relations Major, said. “That way they can have their niche on campus, and from there they can start on school and their organizations and enjoy their experience.”
The event is separated into three different days for specific types of organizations.  Tuesday, iSucceed focused on departments on campus that offer resources and services to advance student’s academic success.
“The departments will be out of student success center, the library, police department, and other services for students,” Matt Maples, associate of student activities, said.
Wednesday, iBelong will include all organizations on campus, and in Canyon and Amarillo that students can get involved with. Then, on Thursday iCare will get students connected with service organizations and charities.
“The classroom is just half of the experience for college students,” Montoya said. “Getting involved is the other half that you have to have. Organizations help people get involved and have fun while they’re here, instead of just being education based.”
