What can a liaison help me with?
Liaisons are also responsible for signing off on all funding requests for student organizations.

Liaisons are also here to help with

- Organization marketing.
- Organization development such as bylaw creation and running effective meetings.
- Internal conflict and membership concerns.
When are they available to meet?
We strongly recommend RSOs schedule appointments with their assigned liaison in order to ensure the best possible advising and support. However, during normal business hours, a liaison is available for drop-in appointments for answering basic questions.
Student Organization Success (S.O.S.) Meeting
The purpose of S.O.S. meetings is to meet with a CSI Liaison and learn primarily about the funding process, what type of funding your group is eligible for, as well as any university policies you may need to take into consideration. S.O.S. meetings may also provide student leaders with the opportunity to brainstorm membership engagement and recruitment strategies, provide conflict management resources and provide event planning resources. Schedule an S.O.S. meeting with your assigned CSI Liaison listed below.
