\u201cWe hope student organizations can take the processes and skills they learned and apply them to their student organization this year,\u201d Student Engagement Coordinator Ali Colwell said. \u201cWe hope anyone who comes leaves with new ideas and a better understanding of how to run a student organization successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Colwell said the Student Engagement Office made multiple updates to the Student Organization Handbook and created a new review process for the organizations. RSO Training is also important because there are many steps and policies student organizations must follow regarding traveling, purchasing supplies and fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s RSO Training will differ from last year\u2019s and will include breakout sessions on various topics. Colwell encourages each organization to bring its entire officer board. Two sessions are available to provide scheduling flexibility. Students do not need to attend both days. Dinner will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
