Under the general guidance of a volunteer Faculty Advisor or University Liaison, RSOs are wholly initiated, installed and chartered, led, and maintained by students enrolled at University of Phoenix. Founding Faculty Advisors for the University’s NSLS chapter are John Ramirez, MBA, MS/AJS-GHS, USA CSM (ret), dean of Operations at the College of Doctoral Studies, and Rich Schultz, Ph.D., MHA, USAF MSgt (ret), program chair of College of Health Professions.

University students can visit the University of Phoenix RSO page and review program offerings with 14 honor, academic, and professional societies to determine which organization is the right fit.  Those who have determined an interest can send an email to students.organizations@phoenix.edu to identify next steps for eligibility and participation.
