Registered Independent Student Organizations (RISOs)
Registered Independent Student Organizations (RISOs) are independent and self-governed student organizations formed with common interests and activities. These organizations, varying from academic, cultural, professional, political, recreational, religious, and service groups, serve the campus and community by providing leadership development opportunities for students. In addition, RISOs foster community spirit, civic engagement and social and cultural interaction among all UH West Oʻahu students, faculty and staff members.
A complete list of organizations and detailed information on joining a Registered Independent Student Organization (RISO) is available from the Coordinator of Student Leadership Development Programs, Rouel Velasco (689-2942) or email rouel@hawaii.edu).
