Sponsored Student Orgs (SSO)
Sponsored student organizations are student organizations that operate under the direct supervision of the sponsoring University unit. SSOs must be sponsored by an executive officer, dean, or director or a major academic or operational unit.
The Student Philanthropy team can support SSOs in the following ways:

Voluntary Student Orgs (VSO)
Voluntary student organizations are student organizations that seek access to certain University-controlled benefits and resources and are accountable to the University for legal compliance, fiscal responsibility, and adherence to established community standards. VSOs are encouraged to seek out a faculty/staff advisor, although this is not required.
