Our court includes a King and Queen (both must be Seniors and may choose to run for either title) along with eight court members, with two representatives from each class year.

Coleman, during my Meeting Management portion of training I review the basics… my training covers:

Pre-Meeting:

• Set a clear purpose and goals for the meeting
• Create and distribute an agenda in advance
  • Start with a call to order and review of the agenda
  • Include time for each agenda item to keep the meeting on track
  • Prioritize important…

We offer storage lockers about 2×3 feet each with a built-in combination lock and a master key that we have to override the combination. We do not offer office space, or much in the way of office-type resources, and this hasn’t been an issue since we renovated 6 years ago.

We are looking to offer some spaces exclusive to student organizations in…

Sounds like more than you might need, but we use CampusGroups for our process. We do funding on an event-by-event base, instead of annually.

At LU we follow the University’s direction for closures. The Food Court and Bookstore will follow this as well, so generally it hasn’t been an issue.

For early closures that are unexpectedly announced we’ve stayed opened as regularly scheduled. Typically, the closure beings at 2 or 3 pm and are typically the day before Thanksgiving, on…

Hey Whitney,

We are not using Suitable (just heard of it now), but I like what they have on their website.

Our aim is to integrate similar gamification elements and guided pathways within our CampusGroups app. This would include point tracking, leaderboards, and automated badge allocation based on attendance tracking or user interactions…

Michael,

This was shared with me years ago. It was designed for meeting/event spaces, but it might work for your purposes.

We’re pretty hands off with our policies for Orgs. However, we do have policy around reservations, finances, and risk management. For elections, we don’t have a mandated process, just a suggested one, which is in our template constitution.

Hey Deirdre,

We run our budget request semesterly, based on the date of the event, and first-come-first-served. I have pasted our policy below; I hope that helps. I’d be willing to take some feedback too!

The Co-Sponsorship program assists student organizations with funding for different activities, available on a first-come,…

Our policy is not very lengthy, but we spent quite a while researching in 2018 with other schools in TX both in and out of our system. We reviewed it again in 2020, per request of our SGA, and only made one change – added the “and” on the line after attendance. We apply the policy to all student org events and any event by another group in…

Sara, I’m not?familiar with CBORD, so what I have to say may be of no help, but I’ll share what we are doing.

Currently we are using Marketplace via TouchNet. Our office has a lot of issues with this, mainly because we do not directly manage or set up the stores. We don’t have access when students have questions, nor do we know exactly when…

Hello, I have an idea for an adopt-a-spot type program?and I’m hoping some feedback here can help shape this up. Please share your thoughts!

We have large 4-ft diameter planters outside our building that I’m thinking could be “adopted” by a student organization. Normally these planters have a year-round low-lying shrubbery, and every spring…

We do exactly what Brook has done. We had our 4 supervisors lead the entire training. I worked with them throughout the summer via Teams meetings to break up the schedule and produce a curriculum for each session.

Hello Kim,

I am reviewing our conduct section of our student organization policies as well. In our case, we do not handle department affiliated groups in the same way we handle student organizations. Because they are not student organizations, any student misconduct is handled by the student code of conduct and thus the individual students…
