Create Involvement Groups

Advisors create an involvement group in Education Cloud to empower students to explore new interests, hone their talents, and grow into well-rounded individuals. Meaningful involvement includes activities outside the classroom, such as participation in student organizations, social groups, leadership roles, and community service. Students can self-enroll to these involvement groups or create their own involvement groups based on their competencies and traits through the portal.
