Meet with your CSI liaison  

Each student organization has a designated CSI liaison based on their category. Liaisons help navigate things such as funding and event planning. We encourage our student organizations to meet with their liaison at least once or twice each semester, ideally toward the beginning, so we can learn about your plans and help make those plans a reality.
