Points and Badges are a way to show your stellar involvement on as a student organization!
By completing challenges throughout the semester, your student organization can attain different levels of Involvement Badges. These badges will appear on your group page on CONNECT as you attain them, and they also come with some special gifts at the end of the semester.
Points will also appear on the student organization leaderboard. See where you stand against other student organizations across all of campus or in your specific organization category.
Check out the point challenges created every semester to see how you can progress to new badges and higher on the leaderboard. The challenges change every semester, to check back here to see the updated challenges.
Challenges are also created as new events and ideas come to mind. Keep an eye on your email for further updates or check back here for more information.
