Involvement
Chartered Student Organizations
Chartered Student Organizations (CSOs) is one of two types of student organizations that the University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents recognizes as out-of-classroom learning opportunities. CSOs provide the opportunity for students to learn through participation in institutional governance, advocacy on behalf of students, development of programs, services, and activities to meet students needs and interests, and through learning to work effectively in organizational or group settings (RP 7.202).
