Liaison and Finance Staff
Liaison staff
Liaisons are professional staff members assigned to assist recognized student organizations (RSOs) with the creation, execution and implementation of their student organization. CSI determines the liaison the RSO works with based upon their self-classifiedÌýcategory during the annual registration process.
Go to the student organization and search for your RSO name where you will see the category the RSO is listed under.
