ASUN Partnership
ASUN Partnership Application
What is the ASUN “WolfPack Partnership”
The WolfPack Partnership is ASUN’s mentor program (formerly known as our ASUN Internship Program). The Partnership allows for students to understand the inner workings of ASUN and how the officers and representatives inside the association function. It also provides the ability for hands-on experience inside UNR and outside within the Reno community. The Partnership aims to provide students with the tools to feel empowered to advocate for themselves and share their learned skills with others to help them know that the association is accessible and visible to them. We work with multiple community partners and would love to make the students of the University of Nevada Reno our new Partners. The WolfPack Partnership Programs seek to provide Partners with leadership development, professional development, and hands-on experience serving within the Associated Students of the University of Nevada!
