What are Recognized Student Organizations, or RSOs?
As recognized student organizations, these groups are officially recognized by the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. That means that they can meet on campus, hold official events, and collaborate with the college on scholastic opportunities. They are made by students for students. These RSOs can range anywhere from aligning with a specific identity, profession, or social cause.
Why should you join?
There are a lot of professional, social, and academic benefits to joining an RSO. First and foremost, getting involved in a role or event accumulates great experience for your resume. Showing interest outside of the classroom presents dedication and real-world applications to employers.
Certain RSO opportunities can also help you discover more academic pathways and research groups. Some of our RSOs are very accomplished and help grant their students with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for international competitions, awards, and grants.
Finally, meeting other students who share your same interests and values can help build a support network. Teamwork is a great skill to have both in college and beyond, so fostering connections with others is a sure way to start your personal success.
How can you get involved?
Take a look at the list of RSOs below and see what interests you! You can reach out to RSOs with a listed contact email or website to learn more, or you can attend an in-person event hosted by the organization. The beginning of each semester is also a great time to find student involvement fairs where RSOs will set up tables to provide information and recruit new members. If none of these options work, reach out to the Director of Student Engagement to get in touch with a student or advisor contact.
