*NEW* Membership Portal
The University Seminars is pleased to announce the launch of our Membership Portal!
Gary Mayta-Lizarraga in The Seminars office has compiled a single roster for each seminar using internal records, rosters sent by seminars, new information coming from new member nominations, and continuous email updates. These rosters are now available to all seminar chairs through the Membership Portal, accessible via UNI/password.
Although the compiled office rosters don’t always reflect every detail, they are the most up-to-date version of a seminar membership list made of all available information.
