COSO currently consists of four students, one faculty representative, and a Student Affairs representative. Throughout the year COSO registers new organizations, conducts workshops on a variety of leadership topics, and is eager for feedback on the needs of student organizations. COSO members can also be used as leadership consultants, and can be contacted to assist organizations, their officers, and their advisors with programming and other leadership issues. Awards were created and first presented in the spring of 1996. These awards were developed to acknowledge and thank student organizations and their advisors for all they do for the University and the community.
Organizations are also welcome to nominate themselves.
A selection committee made of students and administrators will determine the recipients. All registered organizations are eligible to receive one of the four awards described below. This award is given to the organization which holds the most activities throughout the academic year. This award is given to the organization that improves significantly from the past. Some areas that are considered are membership, activities, and general contributions to the school.
