OSIS LSE Department

LSE life skills and entrepreneurship department OSIS written by Delbar Rosana Ifra Zafira

Our student body feature for this year is the LSE department! Let's take a closer look, shall we? Now, what exactly does the LSE department do in OSIS? Well, the LSE department is actually the one that takes care of funding for any OSIS events and community service events.

Like in previous years, this year the LSE department is planning to do a fundraiser in order to give back to the community and to fund the student council for future events. They are considering doing a collaboration with non-profit organizations, and preparing for anything that could provide financial support, be it the student council events themselves or any donation events we participate in.

As we might guess, all of that takes a lot of hard work and effort. The LSE department has gone through multiple challenges the past year. Every department faces its own separate challenges, and for the LSE department, it was passive members and low product demand. A number of members lacked initiative and teamwork, having the PIC do all the work because members couldn't work efficiently enough, or add on more than opinions and ideas. Aside from that issue, they also had to face a lack of demand for the products they were selling. Not only were the event and product ideas very limited, but it was also difficult to earn money and simply have the department work well amidst a pandemic.

In order to solve the passive members issue, the LSE department has found an effective way to delegate tasks, and that is to allocate tasks based on what each member is capable of. Although there were still some difficulties in doing this because some members lacked training in the skills needed for the department, they could enlist the help of an experienced member and receive other tasks to undertake in return.
