Get Involved! Join A Committee!
One of the many ways MISSO interacts with it’s members is through the various Committees it provides. Many of the MISSO officers will have committee members to work alongside them throughout the semester. Committee members play a big part in helping the officers with planning and preparing for MISSO’s different events. This is a great opportunity for anyone hoping to become a future officer, giving each member an insight of the different officer positions. Below is a list of committee positions available with a short description. Please fill out the forms below and choose the committees that you would like to be a part of for Fall 2020.

Our educational events allow our members to reinforce their academic pursuits or to gain new skills. Regardless of the situation, we work to invest in the skillset of our membership by offering educational services. MISSO offers Educational Workshops to serve as review sessions for our members covering material from the University’s most technical classes. Before any Java, Database, or Transaction Processing examination, MISSO’s education officers hold review sessions to better prepare our members for the difficulties they can face from these fields. Officers have dedicated Committees to ensure the success of our members and diligently work to easing the learning process as much as possible. As students, we understand some of the difficulties that can come from learning a new skillset, therefore let us work together in our pursuit of academic excellence! Whether you are a new student, an upperclassman, or you just want to learn, MISSO has everything you need to make your envisioned success story a reality.
