  2. Student Organizations – What are they? • A student society or student organization is an organization, operated by students at a college or university, whose membership normally consists only of students. Student societies often aim to facilitate a particular activity or promote a belief system. • An organization run by students for students. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_organizations

  4. Student Organization – What do They DO? • The purpose of student organizations at is to provide opportunities for the enhancement of academic, cultural, social and recreational aspects of student life through participation in group programs and activities. • Help each other • Help the campus • Help the community

  5. Student Organizations – What CAN they DO? In your small groups, come up with ideas as to how your student organization can help students, campus, or the community.

  9. Budget How should a budget be developed? • Do lots of fundraising and then decide? • Set a budget and then do fundraising? • Budget? What budget?

  10. Let’s talk Dollars and sense Steps in developing a budget. • Decide what you want to do with your money • Should benefit the entire membership, not just a few • i.e., attend conferences, pay for guest speakers, make a donation to a charitable cause, or even have a party. • Make your payment to the NATA foundation (every program is encouraged to donate at least $250 annually) • Let everyone decide what they want to do, this should NOT be an executive or even faculty decision

  11. Set goals • Determine how much money is needed to meet goals • Develop REALISTIC ideas for fundraising projects • Get your members involved with fundraising • If everyone is on board with the goals, they are more likely to “buy-in” and participate in fundraising

  12. Fundraising Ideas – you tell me Go into your small groups and come up with ideas to share with the larger audience. What do you do? Does it work? Other good ideas that have not been tried?
