Through the Student Affairs and Associated Student Organization (ASO) offices, the Institute will assist with event approvals, room reservations, club registration, and access to student activity funds. Our institution will also support the Student Branch by providing official communication channels, such as Canvas, so students can easily see when and where events are held and what materials are needed for workshops.

Additional faculty will be encouraged to serve as guest speakers and project mentors, especially for our capstone-style projects and end-of-semester showcases.
