Events

Throughout the year, the SOC Student Coordinators work to support exciting special events for students. The Coordinators are instrumental in implementing Cometville which showcases student organizations and departments to the campus community. The Coordinators make recommendations and suggestions for leadership retreat activities and work to bring social and networking opportunities to students organizations.
