Have an awesome idea for engaging UW students after looking at the artist roster for next season? Looking to meet other UW students who like the performing arts? Want to get involved with a nonprofit at a grassroots level? Are you a UW student? Meany Center’s Student Engagement Team is a good fit for you.
MISSION
The Student Engagement Team (SET) serves as an avenue for communication and collaboration between the Meany Center and UW students. SET members are student advocates for Meany Center. Our mission is to engage students in the rich arts community that Meany Center brings to the University, advise Meany Center staff on student interests and promote Meany Center resources and events. SET is a volunteer organization involved in facilitating outreach efforts, social events, campus engagement and other opportunities targeted at making Meany Center an increasingly valuable educational and social resource to all students.
WHAT KINDS OF THINGS DOES SET DO?
So glad you asked! SET recently organized a student-only intermission reception at a Martha Graham Dance Company performance.
Additionally, they orchestrated UW’s first installment of Push 4 Art, a national movement to highlight the importance of art on college campuses. Check out our video here. SET members also assisted in prepping the Dorm Concerts, Study Session with a Soundtrack at Odegaard Library, and residencies, including setting up food, hanging posters and talking to their friends about Meany Center.
SET is looking for people who have ideas about how to engage students into Meany Center. We’re looking for students who are excited about meeting artists and like getting other people excited about art.

We have one meeting every three weeks. If you’re interested in being a part of SET, all you have to do is show up. We want you to be there. We want you to share your ideas and take over a project.
