How can YOU be involved in COW?

Cow is open to all students regardless of grade level or GPA. To be considered a COW member you must:

1. Attend 8 of the 10 meetings

2. Pay $15 yearly dues

Being a leader for a volunteering opportunity is a simple way to earn leadership hours! You will be able to sign up for the chance to be a leader on the monthly sign up documents.
