RSO Impact Awards


Congratulations to everyone who was nominated and awarded an Impact Award. Involvement is a key element to the well-being of students here, and you all have put forth so much time and effort to create a better, more inclusive experience for your fellow knights. To the RSOs, your commitment to your organizations is admirable, and your hard work shined this year. We have had RSOs running events that are more accessible, organizing fundraisers for a cause they believe in, spreading the word about an issue they are passionate about, and so much more.
