Macy Clemens is the program assistant for marketing and virtual engagement. In Spring 2024, she graduated from Western with a bachelor’s degree in business with a concentration in marketing. On campus, Clemens promotes events and is passionate about encouraging students to participate in everything Western has to offer. Because of her interest, Clemens decided that Student Engagement was the perfect place for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One tool that Clemens hopes students take advantage of more often is Involve, which is a website that has lists of clubs, organizations and events on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith Involve, students can explore everything happening at campus at any given time. It’s like a personal event calendar for all things at (Western), which I think is helpful,\u201d said Clemens. \u201cInvolve offers some cool opportunities and it helps students to gain skills and build their networks.\u201d Upcoming events on campus include the \u201cFEM in STEM Speaker Series\u201d Nov. 14 from 4 \u2013 5:15 p.m., the \u201cShow of Green\u201d event Nov. 14 from 8:30 \u2013 8:50 a.m. with a veteran\u2019s breakfast the same day at 9 a.m. Additional information on those events and others can be found through Involve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInvolve can either be accessed through (your) portal, or you can download an app on your phone,\u201d said Clemens. Students can connect the app to their Google calendar so they are notified when there is an event coming up. For many organizations and events, students can see more information and sign up directly on the Involve app or website. It also shows users how to contact many of the groups on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt’s more than an app though \u2014 It’s a way for students to find and build a community,\u201d said Clemens. \u201cInvolve can help you get connected on campus. And it also helps make connections that extend beyond college.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clemens knows that students may be nervous to try clubs or go to events that are new to them, however, she believes that the experiences students will gain from getting involved will be invaluable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBranching out is what\u2019s really important,\u201d said Clemens. \u201cTaking that first step and going to these different events is really helpful. You might realize it\u2019s actually a lot better, even if (you were) nervous to branch out a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
