student organization Leadership Training

1

Dear Student Org Leaders, We’re excited to introduce the Fall Student Organization Leadership Training. This training will serve as the primary vehicle for preparing presidents and treasurers to lead GW’s student organizations for the 2014-2015 academic year. It is our hope that as a result of this training student organization leaders will:

Gain a comprehensive understanding and working knowledge of student organization resources, policies, and procedures;

Be equipped with the ability to exercise effective leadership and managing practices that promote organizational success and sustainability;

Develop collaborative relationships with advisors, university departments, and other student organizations.

The training will be held August 24 in Marvin Center. It is required and it is expected that each registered student organization send the president and treasurer. Groups that are preparing to register in September are also expected to attend. Your day will vary based on your role and type of organization. Please take a moment to look through this document, determine your role/organization-based responsibilities for the day, and learn answers to some frequently asked questions.

Presidential Skills Casey Crisp, Program Coordinator – CSE Support and Leadership Team Myles Surrett, Program Coordinator – CSE Support and Leadership Team This session will equip student organization presidents with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage their organization. Presenters will address a variety of topics, including running an effective meeting, managing your peers, officer transition, and more. LGBT Safe Zone Training Timothy Kane, MSSC The LGBT Safe Zone training educates and empowers GW students, staff, and faculty to celebrate and support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members of our campus community and beyond. Learn how to think “beyond the binary” of gender and sexual identities, while exploring how to be an

ally with and for members of the LGBT Community. Everyone wins when LGBT diversity and inclusion is embraced as a GW value! Translating Your Experience 9:30 session: Phil Wilkerson and Susan Langford – GW Center for Career Services 10:30 session: Nicole Urlass and Toy Tavarez – GW Center for Career Services Make the most of your student organization experience by understanding what transferable skills you gained, and how to translate those experiences to your resume. Through practice, you will learn what skills employers are looking for, and how to present your skills to help you get your next job or internship. University Resources for Fundraising and Alumni Relations David Anderson, Associate Director of Annual Giving Anna Mahalak, Coordinator of Planning and Outreach - Division of Student Affairs It's more than a bake sale or SA allocation. Take your organization to the next level with strategic fundraising and communication practices. As a result of this presentation, student organization leaders will understand how to fundraise through official GW outlets, identify at least three university resources for supporting their fundraising and alumni relations efforts, and learn how to effectively steward and communicate with donors. What to Say? Effective Responses to Bias Statements Krystal Warner, Senior Program Coordinator – Multicultural Student Services Center Michael Tapscott, Director – Multicultural Student Services Center Every day, we hear, see, or feel …words, deeds or actions that reflect ignorance about others based on a number of identities including: race, gender, ethnicity, ability, language, accent, age, and many more. Bias statements can be many things, malicious comments, poorly worded jokes, or social slips of the tongue. However, every time they are met with silence, they are validated, especially by the omission of response to the person who utters them. Even more important, these statements impact the “others” in the room as well. Leaders must learn to stand up for others. Bias statements leave us uncomfortable, anxious, or in mild shock, because they often happen without warning, even the statements that we find ourselves saying as well. This session will provide a challenging dialogue about bias statements; how to respond to them, and more importantly, it will help to answer the age old question many of us have asked ourselves, “what can I do.” There is so much we can do, and it is easier than you think…..so, come and join us as we learn to “Stand Up, GW.” Diversity Leadership Michael Tapscott, Director – Multicultural Student Services Center One of the most important aspects of a young leader’s development is a growth in cultural competency during the early stages of their first practices in and around leadership. Cultural competency is the natural or learned ability to work effectively, intuitively, and sensitively across the broadest ranges of identity and cultural context. The key to success in developing these critical professional skills is to energize our interest, willingness, and internalization of the opportunities that


7

drift past our lives. There are few cities, and even fewer universities that provide an environment as rich as ours, but it is you individual responsibility to take advantage of it. Young people with higher levels of cultural competency add value to their workplaces through their capacity to connect with, motivate, and even inspire others. Those who move others move the bottom line while adding add value and joy to their living. This session will identify and challenge your belief systems about leadership, AND, add to your ability to refine your cultural competency skills for tomorrow! Hazing and Bystander Intervention Rachael Wise, Program Coordinator – CSE Student Involvement and Greek Life Team This session will include a discussion of hazing, how to know if you’re doing it, and how to stop doing it. The session will also review how to be an active bystander in order to stop/prevent any violent, uncomfortable, or unsafe behavior. Student Wellness and Balancing Everything University Counseling Center Staff This session will educate student organization leaders on the important of overall wellness and discuss role modeling healthy behavior in order to contribute to a healthier campus community. The session will also address balancing multiple priorities in a healthy manner and self-care. Hooking Up: Sex and Dating at GW Dana Fleitman, Jewish Women’s International Suz Combs, Coordinator of Victim Support Services Angela Esquivel, Area Coordinator – CSE Second Year Experience Team Do you know what does it mean to hook up at GW? This interactive, co-ed event will help you build the skills to navigate healthy relationships, consent, and become an active bystander to curb sexual violence. The specialized leadership session (optional second hour) will allow you to become a peer-educator for the Welcome Week event held on 8/27. Sponsored by Center for Student Engagement, University Counseling Center, Student Health Services, GW SARC Team, GW Police Department, and Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Financial 101 for Presidents Orlando Dozier, Center for Student Engagement Financial Coordinator Jovanni Mahonez, Center for Student Engagement Operations Manager This session will offer student organization presidents an overview of the policies and procedures related to student org financial affairs. The presentation will address student org accounts, spending money, depositing money, travel policies, contracts, and more. CADE Event Registration Training Alexis Janda, Associate Director – Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Education

This session will teach students about the new CADE Event Registration Procedures and a new online form that students can use to submit events for registration. Only student organizations with members that have completed this training will be able to fill out the online form. Planning an Event Adam Murphy, Assistant Director of Client Services – Events and Venues Elizabeth Cerce, Assistant Director of Scheduling – Events and Venues This session will provide an overview of the event planning process from the student organization perspective. Representatives from Events & Venues will walk student leaders through the lifecycle of an event at GW, from initial booking through planning to day-of execution. Stayin’ the Path: Remaining Focused on YOUR Priorities Renee Kashawlic, Assistant Director – CSE First Year Experience What is balance? For every extra task or responsibility you tackle or acquire – do you remove another to ensure balance? The definition of balance states one must have equilibrium. This presentation presents a paradigm shift offering the value of imbalance as a means to greater fulfillment and more time and energy focusing on our most valued priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I register? You can register by visiting studentorgs.gwu.edu or clicking here. Can I represent more than one organization? In the president track, you may represent any

organization of which you are an officer as recorded in the CSE’s student organization database. In the treasurer track, you may represent any organization of which you are treasurer as recorded in the CSE’s student organization database. It is preferred that the president and treasurer attend when possible. If you need to represent two organizations at the training, please contact Anne Graham at [email protected] or 202-994-0177 to make this accommodation.

The president of my organization cannot attend. What can we do? It is preferred that the

president attend the training. If your organization’s president is unable to attend, please choose another officer to represent your organization in the president’s track.

The treasurer of my organization cannot attend. What can we do? It is preferred that the treasurer

complete the treasurer track. If your organization’s treasurer is unable to attend, please choose another officer to represent your organization in the treasurer’s track.

No officers from my organization are able to attend. Can we send two general body members in

their place? Please contact Anne Graham at [email protected] or 202-994-0177. What happens if we don’t show up? Failure to provide appropriate representation at the Aug. 24

training will impact the organization's registration status, which may include loss of the ability to table at the student organization fair, utilize student organization financial accounts, and reserve space on campus. Appropriate representation is defined as the treasurer and the president. If the president is unable to attend the entire President's Track, the organization may send another officer/executive board member. If the treasurer is unable to attend the Treasurer's Track, the organization may send another officer/executive board member.

This looks awesome! Can we send more than our president and treasurer? Unfortunately space

limitations prevent us from opening the training to more than two officers per organization (one in the president’s track and one in the treasurer’s track). In the future, we hope to hold trainings for other officers and general body members. Additionally, the Center for Student Engagement is happy to help coordinate specialized trainings for your individual organization.

I have a question or concern that is not addressed here. Please contact Anne Graham at

[email protected] or 202-944-0177 with further questions or to request disability specific accommodations from GW’s Disability Support Services.
