Who Should Participate
Recognized Student Organizations are required to have two officers in attendance. This does include fraternities, sororities, and special interest housing.
Completing the Fall Leadership Training requirements is crucial to the successful operation of your Recognized Student Organization and it also satisfies requirements for the Administrative and Review Committee (ARC) and the Students’ Association Appropriations Committee (SAAC) for the Fall Leadership Training component of the Student Organization Annual Review (SOAR).
To successfully complete SOAR’s Fall Leadership Training requirement, 2 officers must attend the training. If you are an experienced officer, you might consider inviting a newer officer to attend. Please note, an individual can represent multiple organizations if they are on the executive boards, but every organization needs to be represented at their advisor session.
To successfully complete SAAC’s Business Manager Training requirement, the Business Manager for each student organization MUST complete the Business Manager Transaction Training and Quiz and then attend the Business Manager (BM) Training during the Leadership Workshops. The Transaction Training and Quiz will be emailed to students with registration.
Please note, that a Business Manager can be counted as one of the two officer attendees as long as they attend the other sessions in addition to their Business Manager Training.
