Registered Student Organizations

Registered Student Organizations are a wonderful way to build leadership skills and to gain useful out of the classroom experiences such as team work, communication skills and risk management. As an officer in a RSO, you need to know about risk management. If there is one aspect of student organization practices and activities that is often overlooked or not given enough attention it is risk management. The reality is that student organizations, their leaders, their advisors, and even individual members can find themselves involved in lawsuits for failing to reduce risky behavior or taking reasonable precautions to ensure health and safety. Good risk management can help you design experiences that are developmental, educational, safe, and successful. Hazing is a real risk management issue.
