Virtual: Zoom
Center for Campus Involvement

There are many uncertainties currently which makes planning events this Fall difficult for our student organization leaders. To help you advise your organizations as they plan performances, gatherings, panels, speakers, or other events, this session will focus on three areas:

  • Outline what considerations to keep in mind as orgs make plans for the Fall,
  • Share an activity focused on planning in a time of uncertainty that you can take back (in whole or in spirit) to your organization,
  • Consult with other advisors on questions you are facing in your advisor role.

Zoom will be utilized for this event. Following the 1 hour meeting, the virtual session will remain open for 30 additional minutes to allow for further discussion for those interested.
