John Rooney

Chapter Advisor

I serves as the institutional and faculty/staff liaison between the Tau Sigma chapter, the university, and the national organization. Their role ensures the chapter operates in alignment with Tau Sigma’s mission – to recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students. I oversee member eligibility, collaborate with and guide the officers, and make available graduation cords and stoles amongst other things to support the organization. I am available multiple ways but you can schedule appointments with me through Starfish or use any of my contact information.
