FAQs

Are meetings in person or remote?
This semester, we are taking a hybrid approach to meetings. Some of our meetings will be in person, and some will be online. Our schedule will make it clear which meetings will be which format. If virtual, we will email a Zoom link to attend. 

When are WIBC Meetings?
Our bi-weekly body meetings will be on Tuesdays at 7:30 PM. 

When are WIBternship Meetings?
WIBternships are every other Tuesday (on the Tuesdays when we don't have body meetings), and these are required for freshman and sophomore new members.

How do I become a member?
New and returning members should pay dues, request Garnet Gate membership, and join the Group Me. Once you complete these steps, you are a member and may attend all meetings and events!

What are the requirements for staying a member?
New members: Freshmen and sophomores must complete Wibternship. In addition, every member must obtain 16 points by attending body meetings and social events.

How does the Point System work?
