Your organization events and majority of your time should be invested in activities that serves your mission. • Advocate for inclusion and diversity. Bring awareness of differences to your group. Do your best to encourage participation by all. • Do your homework. Officers need a functional knowledge of the University's mission, drug/alcohol and hazing policies, code of conduct, and local laws. Officers should use good common sense for the good of the group and the University. See the ODU Student Handbook and the Student Organization Handbook for policy information. • Know the rules. Officers who have less than a 2.00 GPA will be asked to resign form their position.

  12. Tips for successful orgs… • Be aware of deadlines.

The deadline to apply for Student Government funding is usually scheduled for late February. • Join the Leaders Listserv to get updates on student organizations and events.   • Be a motivator. Remember that praise does more good than criticism. Be generous with your praise. If a member does something right, tell the entire organization, and when a student slips up, help him/her privately. • Have your officers attend the “Officer Training and Transition” Workshop • Keep learning and developing your leadership skills.
