WHAT WE DO

Advisement:
Our office serves as the staff advisors to student government groups and organizations. We also work as activities liaisons to recognized student groups for policy advisement and program guidance.

Group Development:
SAO provides many programs to aid group officers and members in their leadership growth, including leadership, creative marketing, and more.

Programming:
We plan events and programs. From leadership opportunities for students to late night programs. Be sure to visit our website and social media sites to stay up to date with our program offerings.

Prospective Club Process:
We can guide prospective student clubs through the Prospective Club process when forming a new club.

SAO360:
We oversee this event registration system used by all student groups. When a user adds a request we serve as activities liaisons and send the request to various departments across campus for approval. In example, when a user completes the food module in a request, Catering by Design or Risk Management - Food Safety would also be sent the request for approvals.
