Student Organizations – What are they? • A student societyor student organizationis 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
Student Organizations – Why do they exist? • Being involved in student organizations provides an opportunity to become connected with the campus community, provide leadership opportunities and peer interaction outside of the classroom.
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
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.
Getting Involved and Getting Students Engaged • Get everyone to “buy in” to the purpose, goals and objectives • Determine your organization’s purpose • Mission Statement • Constitution and By-Laws • Membership selection and criteria • Leadership • Determine your short-term and long-term goals • Develop a plan to meet these goals
Budget How should a budget be developed? • Do lots of fundraising and then decide? • Set a budget and then do fundraising? • Budget? What budget?
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
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
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?
“How do you solve a problem like Maria (or Mark)?” How do you get EVERYONE to participate or to do their share? Once again, in your groups, come up with some suggestions or ideas
You are organized aT the LoCal level—now what??? • Opportunities are available to get involved at the state, district, and national levels. Find a committee and volunteer. • Change happens—be a part of that change. • Get involved. • Your enthusiasm will get others involved. • Leave a legacy.
