Standing Operational Groups
Standing Operational Groups (SOGs) are groups that are permanent or semi-permanent and regularly convene to address organizational issues, problem-solve, communicate, and collaborate across institutional functions. These groups are central and core adhesives to ongoing work within the college.
SOGs are comprised of cross-divisional representatives with diverse perspectives and contributions gathered to produce outcomes that have an institutional impact on areas such as Policy, Events, and Student Success.
