CSOs are collaborative voices of change on campus and in their communities.

Each Chief Science Officer is required to complete an Action Plan to amplify student voice by bringing their peers and community leaders together to ignite new opportunities in STEM and innovation. Through digital support systems and opportunities, CSOs encourage each other to find success. Each CSO Site is responsible for providing support and the advisors that meet regularly with the Chief Science Officers to take action. During the year, CSOs participate in key training events and experiences to increase their leadership skills. Many CSOs are paired with an industry mentor to coach them through project management strategies and communication suggestions to heighten awareness of STEM in their area.
