Hello Group leaders!

Please read this entire email, as it contains important information about organization Recognition and resources.

Here are reminders about Annual Re-Recognition deadlines and training.

Minimum requirements for Re-Recognition

Visit our Re-Recognition website for details and our Training page for links to training modules. Due dates are also listed in the right-hand column of this email. All groups must complete the following:

  • All - Complete your Re-Registration form (due September 7th at 10pm)
    • You will be prompted to complete it when you enter your Embark group.
  • Orgs: RSO training (2 modules: RSO 101 & RSO Policies) Training & quiz (both are due September 14th at 10pm).
    • Two officers will have to pass the quizzes with 100% score
  • Interest Groups: Interest Group 101 training & quiz (due September 15th at 10pm).
    • Two officers will have to pass the quizzes with 100% score
  • All - Update your member roster & officers in Embark
  • All - Communicate to all members to log in to your group so that they can sign the Anti-Hazing Agreement when prompted

After we process the requirements for re-recognition, your Organization / Interest Group will receive access to campus facilities and services. If your group does not complete the minimum requirements by the due date, it will be considered inactive for the academic year. 

Additional requirement: In compliance with the Stop Campus Hazing Act, Mount Holyoke College now requires Org (including Club Sports) and Interest Group e-board members to take additional Anti-Hazing training. More information will be communicated soon.

Here is our Recognition tracking sheet. Please note that while the tracking sheet is updated regularly, it is updated manually and may not reflect recent submissions, forms, and quizzes. 

 

Financial Training

Orgs planning to request Ways & Means funding and use the Business Office are required to have their Treasurer and an Authorized Signer complete both the Ways & Means training and the SGA Business Office Trainings. 

Club Sports should have their Treasurer and a second Authorized Signer complete the Business Office training.

.In-person training sessions will be announced in early September.

Event Training

If you plan to hold events, view the Event Training presentation and attend an in-person training. In-person training sessions for basic events will be offered at the beginning of each semester. 2 members should attend one of these sessions. Groups that plan to host complex events (conferences, cultural shows, parties, concerts) will receive additional support and guidance that is specific to their proposed event.

Travel Training

Club Sports and Organizations traveling 50+ miles from the College and/or including an overnight stay must attend a live Zoom training and complete the required documentation. The travel policy and details can be found on our travel information page.

If you know that your Club Sport or Org is planning to travel this year, take advantage of this training session now and check that requirement off of your list! Change this year: Orgs may submit their Intent to Travel form 3 weeks in advance instead of 4 weeks. Reminder that Orgs that plan to apply for (or use) funding for travel expenses cannot do so until they submit the Intent to Travel form and are pre-approved to travel by OSI. Please be aware of the Ways & Means deadlines. 

Live training sessions will be held via Zoom on:

You must register for travel training for your attendance to be counted.
