Sodexho Catertrax Climate Survey We need YOUR Help! About three weeks ago, we launched the Sodexho Catertrax Survey. STILL, only 9 out of 90+ clubs have completed this survey... How can we help Sodexho if no one takes the survey?
That’s why we need your help!
Please help us help Sodexho! Your response is valuable to us!
CLICK THE LINK BELOW: http://www.zoomerang.com/ Survey/WEB22BN62TV2QS/ This survey has Five (5) Questions and should not take longer than 5 minutes.
It will help better the relationship between your student organization, OSIL, Sodexho, CESO and all the other service providers.

IN Network Spotlight Did you know… An easy way to connect with your members is to write on the “wall” of the IN Network, or your organization’s home page, just like Facebook! Write messages, post updates,
upload documents,
Did some of your
promote events,
members miss your last meeting?
and even ask questions that the general membership could answer. You could also use the “wall” as a discussion board to talk about new ideas or get your member’s opinion on a topic.
You can use the “wall” feature to update them and ensure that everyone is on the same page!
How cool is that?!
