UMACS Membership

Campus Membership

 UMACS is able to celebrate twenty years of advancing a more sustainable and just Upper Midwest because of the volunteer and financial support from our Member Campuses.  Our paying members help us better serve your needs, communicate how many active campuses we have to potential donors, and raise the funds we need to continue to support paid part-time staff.

To apply for membership, campuses should identify a primary contact person to submit a short application and to complete a very short annual survey in late fall.
