Hi First_Name!
Happy first week of classes! We are so excited to have our orgs back on campus and to see all of your planning in the works! Read on for a few updates and make sure you join us next week for our Strong Start workshop.
As we move into Spring semester, many of your org operations will continue to look different. If you’re a new or returning officer, join us for an overview of the COVID student org guidelines and the mandatory event registration process. We will also answer your questions and highlight CONNECT tools that will make org and event management a breeze. This workshop is ideal for Presidents, Recruitment Officers, and anyone responsible for planning events within your organization.
All events/meetings/activities must be registered in CONNECT and must outline precautions you will take with COVID-19.
Events need to be submitted a minimum of 3 business days in advance to allow review, however, if receiving funding, there is a 2-week minimum requirement.
CONTRACT REMINDER
If you plan to host a contracted performer/speaker, the Student Org Contract (SSA Funded) form needs to be submitted 4 weeks in advance.
This is a time sensitive process and if you find your event is less than 4 weeks away, contact Heidi Germain. Orgs will not receive any reimbursement if the form is completed after the event.
As a reminder, payment to performers/speakers cannot begin until all paperwork has been completed and returned. Payments will be mailed via a University check after the event.
Recruit New Members
Need help recruiting new members?
Consider hosting an information session at the start of the semester for interested students. Allowing a space for students to learn about your org, ask questions and meet members goes a long way in reaching your membership goals.
Don't forget to submit your annual budget requests! Budget requests are due February 1st at noon. The SSA is still hosting workshops this week to help answer all your budget questions.
