Section 1 Introduction

In college, you learn lots of incredible stuff in the classroom, but it’s what I’ve learned outside of the classroom in my student arts organizations that make my college education really special. Through these groups and the leadership positions I’ve held within them, I’ve learned how to work in a team, how to engage with staff and administration, how to follow a project from inception to completion, and how to persevere when all seems to be lost. It really has prepared me for my post-graduate career just as much as, if not more than, my classes and other experiences. The best part is, I have been able to learn all of these lessons while staying involved in the arts and creating meaningful work.

Andrew Jacobs, Class of 2016

Student Organizations and Relationship to Duke University

The Duke University campus is designated as an educational environment for the intellectual growth and enjoyment of its community members. Student organizations, part of the Duke experience since about 1924, are a vibrant and enriching part of student life on campus. Duke recognizes the distinct and permanent influence that student organizations have on the campus community and learning. The actions and views of student organizations at Duke University do not necessarily represent the view of the University.

Section 2 Starting a Student Organization

I really do enjoy one-on-one conversations, really getting to talk to people, meet with people, and be there for people. It’s something that made me feel like I finally had a place on campus. And that gives you confidence in a lot of other things that you’re going to find yourself doing. For me, that was being a resident assistant. I definitely encourage you regardless of what career you’re interested in to get involved. You’ll find that a lot of good things will come out of it. You’ll come out with a lot of skills that you didn’t think would be applicable to your career.

Raj Singh, Class of 2014

Benefits

There are many benefits to being a recognized student organization on campus.

Student Organization Funding Committee

Organization Status Renewal To stay compliant with University policies, the President and Treasurer of each student organization must complete the student organization training each academic year. Prior to each fall semester, student organizations must re-register their organization for the upcoming school year. Re-registration includes updating profile and roster information on DukeGroups.com, submitting a signed advisor agreement, participating in the mandatory student organization training, and registering for the fall activities fair.

Creating a Website Maintaining an updated website is a great way to keep current and prospective members informed on your organization’s goals, purpose, and events. There are two options for starting your organization’s website:

Full information and resources for existing groups and students wishing to start new groups can be found online at dukestudentgovernment.com/sofc. This website will always contain the most up-to-date information on SOFC.

the University. In partnership with faculty, staff, alumni, families, and (inter)national organizations, we challenge and educate students in the areas of leadership, cultural awareness, personal and group development, scholarship, and civic responsibility. Greek organizations at Duke are comprised of groups of individuals with various interests. They are bonded together by common goals and aspirations. These bonds are strengthened by honor, friendship, truth, knowledge, and character. Greek membership carries with it many benefits including leadership opportunities, academic support, emphasis on service, and a bond of brotherhood or sisterhood.

Departmental organizations, such as Launch, are not recognized by SOFC, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, GPSC, or HDRL. These organizations are housed within a specific department at Duke. Departmental organizations have the same benefits as all other recognized organizations except for the ability to apply for funding. Funding and accounts must be housed in the sponsoring department. The sponsoring department is solely responsible for the student organization’s activity and presence on campus.

Section 3 Student Organization Policies

My involvement with the Duke Coffeehouse is everything to me. It has lead me to become best friends with fascinating, down-to-earth people that have amazing ideas. It has let me connect with people outside of my major and has taught me how to run a music venue, which in turn has greatly expanded the breadth of knowledge that I have gained at Duke. My life is changed for the better!

Sharrin Manor, Class of 2016

This is a brief overview of the most frequently asked about student organization policies. These are only summaries of the policies. More detailed descriptions of each policy are available on the UCAE website. This list is also not comprehensive, and policies can change throughout the year as student organization needs change. Student organizations are expected to follow all University, UCAE, local and state law, and DCS policies and should regularly check the student organization policy section of the UCAE website.

Off-Campus Event Protocol

All student organizations coordinating or participating in a field trip or sponsoring an off-campus event must have participants complete the Duke University Participation agreement.

UCAE Policies

UCAE is a dynamic organization that aims to provide exceptional services. UCAE is constantly changing with the landscape of the University and adapting to student needs and culture. That being said, internal policies are also dynamic to make the experience of student organizations as smooth and successful as possible. Students are expected to check the UCAE website regularly to stay informed on the most up-todate policies.

Gambling Events with Alcohol

Student events with alcohol can be either BYOB or distribution by a Duke Dining approved university bartender, but never both. All student events with alcohol must have trained party monitors present and be registered in DukeGroups.

It is against North Carolina state law and Duke University policy to gamble. Poker nights, casino games, and raffles are only permitted if no buy-in is required and no real money is wagered.

Duke Community Standard

The Duke Community Standard expresses a standard for behavior-a set of expectations of students who claim membership in Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning community. All incoming undergraduates, upon admittance to Duke, are required to sign a pledge to adhere to these values and to conduct themselves in accordance with these values throughout their undergraduate careers. The DCS, thus, is a statement of principles. The specific policies, or rules and regulations of the university, define the conduct for which students can be held accountable. For more information, please visit http:// studentaffairs.duke.edu/conduct/ â&#x20AC;˘ How do you advocate for yourself and your organization with civility? â&#x20AC;˘ Are you prepared to deal with the consequences of breaking policy?

International Travel Chalking

Chalking is prohibited on any surface, including but not limited to sidewalks, archways, and benches.

All students and student organizations traveling abroad are required to register the travel and travel.duke.edu and carry all documentation listed in the full International Travel Policy.

Approved Caterers

Fundraising/Donations

Facilities and meeting rooms reserved by UCAE must adhere to the approved caterers list available on the UCAE website.

Donations to student organizations are not tax deductible and UCAE must pre-approve any donations to a student organization exceeding $999. Due to e-commerce regulations, student organizations cannot use online crowdfunding sites including but not limited to Kickstarter and GoFundMe.

Trademark and Licensing

When ordering customized items including t-shirts, giveaways, and awards, student organizations are required to use vendors approved by the Office of Trademark & Licensing. The use of certain Duke images, such as the Duke chapel, is restricted. If a student organization wants to create an external website, the organization must go through the Office of Trademark and Licensing.

Contracts

Students can never sign contracts on behalf of their student organizations. All student event contracts should be submitted to university staff for review and signing.

Outdoor Amplified Sound

Duke University restricts the times when outdoor amplified sound is permitted. Times vary depending on event location and day of the week, and students cannot have outdoor amplified sound during restricted hours.

Tabling Posters/Flyers

Posters and flyers are only allowed on approved posting surfaces such as bulletin boards.

Sponsored Corporate Solicitation

Student organizations bringing an outside corporation or organization to campus to table or host an event must receive prior approval from UCAE to bring the company on campus before offering the event.

Student organizations can table on the Plaza and in the Bryan Center Monday through Friday from 10:00am until 4:00pm. Stop by The Source to check out a table.

Hazing Prevention Policy Hazing is a serious infraction of university regulations. The potential for hazing typically arises as part of a student’s introduction to or initiation in an organization (fraternity, sorority, athletic team, or other group) in which there is often a perceived or real power differential between members of the organization and those newly joining it. Hazing is defined as any action taken or situation created, whether on or off university premises, that is harmful or potentially harmful to an individual’s physical, emotional, or psychological well-being, regardless of an individual’s willingness to participate or its bearing on his/her membership status.

Any individual or group found responsible for hazing will be subject to sanctions outlined in the disciplinary process, including, but not limited to: disciplinary probation, social suspension, suspension of charter, restrictions on member recruitment and/ or group activity, removal of the individual from the group, loss of housing

privileges, suspension, and/ or expulsion. Sanctioning will increase with the level of violation and any previous hazing violations. Levels of violation listed are guidelines and may change given particular circumstances of a violation. Students should be aware that hazing is a misdemeanor under North Carolina state law. Acts or potential acts of hazing may be reported to the Office of Student Conduct at (919) 684-6938 or Duke Police (911 or 919-6842444 from non-campus phones). In addition, concerns may be reported confidentially via voicemail to the University’s hazing hotline at (919) 684-5766.

What messages are your actions sending to new and prospective members of your organization?

Facts • 82% of deaths from hazing involve alcohol, according to noted hazing expert Hank Nuwer. • Hazing is often about power and control. Hazers have a need to feel powerful and in control. • Hazing is not just associated with athletic and Greek-letter organizations. It occurs across a wide spectrum of organizations. • You can never be sure you know the physical or mental background of an individual and what the effects of hazing might be for that person.

Myths vs. Facts

Alternatives to Hazing

In general, groups should design new member activities that focus on the mission, purpose, and function of the organization. If an activity doesn’t reflect favorably on the reason the group exists, then another activity should be used. Commitment and dedication to the group’s values and purposes will come from actually engaging in activities that promote those values and purposes. Some examples include:

Myth: Hazing builds unity. Fact: Hazing builds animosity between people and does nothing to foster trust, unity, or respect. It simply makes better hazers.

• Ropes/Challenge Course

Myth: New members want to be hazed. Fact: Really? Then why don’t you advertise it?

• Attend Duke sporting events in addition to basketball

Myth: I went through it, so they should too! Fact: One class can break the “tradition” of hazingit just takes some courage and integrity to do what is right.

• Do a hands-on service project for the elderly, children, etc.

Myth: I’ll never get caught or turned in. Fact: If you haze, there will be a time when even your friends will have to choose between you and their integrity and well-being. It is in their best interest to report the hazing, no matter who is involved. Also, someone may decide to come forward even after college and you can still be held accountable. Myth: If they agree, then we’re not hazing. Fact: WRONG! Since peer pressure leads students to consent, the focus is on what you do, not whether they said you could. *Facts, myths, and alternatives are adapted from the university of michigan “see through the haze”

• Outdoor Adventures through Campus Recreation

• Attend campus special events (plays, concerts, lectures) as a group • Invite alumni to campus for Homecoming activities • Educational programming regarding the history of the group and/or the University • Movie night • Group dinners • Community, campus, or facility beautification projects • Participate in a mentoring program

Level I Violations Examples may include:

• Marching in line • Road trips • Wearing apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste and/or inappropriate for the time of year • Calisthenics • Line-ups

• Pledge/signature books • Periods of silence • Standing for a length of time • Personal servitude • Activities that would not normally construe hazing but because of time, place, or manner make them inappropriate

Level II Violations Examples may include:

• Sleep deprivation or interruption of consecutive sleep hours • Unexpected or forced consumption of food, drink (including alcohol), or other substance • Acts of humiliation or degradation (including streaking or wearing degrading or humiliating apparel) • Restrictions on eating or bathing • Acts that disrupt academic instruction or learning of others • Interruption or interference of academic commitments

Level III Violations Examples may include:

• Branding • Paddling in any form • Compromising (sexual) situations

Section 4 Accountability

Students should get involved with student organizations at Duke because these organizations connect members of the Duke community who never would have interacted otherwise in a way that immensely broadens the Duke community while making it feel smaller and more tightly knit at the same time.

Christina Oliver, Class of 2017

Accountability Student groups add significant value to the University community and the overall Duke student experience. As productive community members, student group members are required to abide by all appropriate policies and procedures. Duke student leaders are expected to be role models within the University community and are accountable for the actions of their groups. While the majority of groups will exceed all expectations, there are instances when corrective action must be taken to ensure University standards are upheld. This outline is provided to create a transparent, common foundation and consistent accountability process. There are three levels of student group accountability, each with corresponding minimum action. Each level provides the ability to connect with UCAE Student Involvement to proactively support the group and limit further inappropriate actions. Student Group Accountability

Section 5 Student Organization Advisors

I absolutely love being a student organization advisor because it allows for opportunities to build genuine and long-lasting relationships with a group of like-minded students that I might not otherwise create solely as a program coordinator.

Alec Greenwald, Advisor

Role of the Advisor

Selecting an Advisor

• Consistently serve as a mentor to organization officers • Assist in the university policy interpretation for the group • Mediate internal conflict • Provide expertise in a specific area of study • Assist in connecting your group with campus resources • Advocate for the group within the university, department, and community • Act as the primary contact for University administration in times of crisis, discipline, or disorganization It is recommended that students and advisors meet regularly (weekly, biweekly, monthly) to update each other on the progress and status of the organization. The consistency and regularity of meetings will vary depending on the nature of the organization and the schedules of the student and advisor.

Organizations may seek new advisors on a case-by-case basis. While there is a benefit to having consistency from year-to-year, sometimes an advisor can get too busy, go on a sabbatical, leave Duke, or is no longer able to support the student organization. If the student organization is looking to find a staff or faculty member with similar interests to the organization, the corresponding department is a natural place to start. For example, if the organization is a performance group, the theater department may be ideal. Similarly, if the organization is focused around a specific population, an identity center or language department may be best. Whatever the case may be, it’s important that the advisor and the students meet to discuss their expectations of each other.

In addition to supporting students organizations as a whole, UCAE Student Involvement also provides support and resources for student organization advisors. If advisors have questions, they can contact any of the UCAE Student Involvement Team members at (919) 684-4741.

Student Organization Advisors

• Are you maximizing your relationship with your advisor as a resource? • How have you expressed the expectations that you have of your advisor? • What role does your advisor serve in your organization? • What factors should you consider in choosing an advisor? • What relationships can your advisor foster on campus to help your organization?

Duke University requires that all recognized student organizations have an advisor. An advisor must be a full-time employee of Duke University (with the exception of groups managed by the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life who are able to have advisors external to the University). Student organizations are run and managed by the students themselves, but advisors play a key role in offering guidance and advice.

Liability Advisors do have potential liability exposure, and should understand their obligations to actively and effectively provide advice and “legal duty of care” to the organization. To the extent advisors become the subject of claims or other liabilities as a result of their role, they are covered by the University’s liability insurance programs so long as the alleged acts giving rise to the claims/liabilities fall within the scope of their official duties.

Section 6 Funding and Banking

Mi Gente is my home on Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus. I am able to connect with other members through my experience as a first generation college student, being Latin and U.S. born, as an advocate for Latin issues on and off campus. Mi Gente can provide an opporutnity for students to practice leadership, advocacy, and broadcasting ideas and solutions to the community. I have become more aware of my skills and weaknesses as a leader and advocate and gained so much life experience from the great friends that I have made.

Student Organization Funding There are many student organization funding sources at Duke. The two most commonly used are SOFC funding and the University Cultural Fund. Student Organization Funding Committee (SOFC) SOFC is a Duke Student Government (DSG) committee that consists of approximately 15 undergraduate students. SOFC reviews applications from student organizations for funding and makes recommendations to the DSG Senate on how to fund student organizations for events and for the annual budget. SOFC also reviews applications for new organizations and makes recommendations to the DSG Senate about student organization recognition. SOFC FAQs Where does SOFC money come from? The Student Organization Funding Committee (SOFC) allocates the DSG portion of the student activities fee, which is included in all undergraduate students’ tuition. SOFC allocates approximately $700,000 annually through the annual budget and event funding. Who is eligible to receive SOFC funding? Only SOFC chartered and recognized student organizations

are eligible for funding. Chartered organizations are eligible for both annual budget funding and event funding. Recognized organizations are only eligible for event funding. What is annual budget funding? Only SOFC chartered organizations can apply for annual budget funding. This funding is for capital expenditures and member only events. A capital expenditure is an item that is not meant for a specific event or that will be reused for multiple events. Some examples of capital expenditures are office

What is event funding?

furniture, cooking equipment, paint brushes, organization banners, etc. Member only events include retreats, conferences, competitions, and other events that can only be attended by members of the organization. SOFC reviews annual budget requests once a year in the spring semester for the upcoming academic year. The 2015-2016 annual budget has already been finalized and can be found at the SOFC website.

Both SOFC chartered and recognized organizations can apply for event funding. Event funding is allocated to student organizations on a rolling basis and is for expenses related to a specific event the organization is hosting. To receive SOFC funding for an event, the event: • Must be held on campus (unless this is impossible to do) • Undergraduate students must be the primary target audience • Must be open to all undergraduate students • Cannot promote a specific politician or political party • Must be possible for undergraduate students to enjoy your event for free

UCAE Business & Finance

Student organizations can submit event funding applications every week. Applications must be submitted by Saturday for review at the following Tuesday’s SOFC meeting. After submitting an application, SOFC will contact the organization to set up a time for the organization to present about its event at the next Tuesday meeting. Applications must be submitted at least 2 weeks before the event date. Is there anything SOFC will not fund?

The UCAE Business & Finance Office supports undergraduate student organizations (including Greek organizations), graduate student organizations, and house/ selective living accounts. All financial transactions for each organization/ account must be initiated through the UCAE Business & Finance Office. This office is available to answer financial questions and assist students in completing financial transactions.

Types of services provided: • Assist in making payments via: P-Card (credit card) Reimbursement Cash Advance Check • Provide Fund Code balance and list of transactions • Transfer funds between organizations/accounts • Deposit cash and/or checks into Fund Code

Additional information, along with step-by-step instructions, can be found at: https://studentaffairs.duke. edu/ucae/forms Office Hours: Monday-Friday 9am-4:30pm Location: Second floor of the Bryan Center, in the UCAE Administrative Suite Contact: ucaebusinessoffice@ studentaffairs.duke.edu

Yes! SOFC will not fund the following: • Events that are not free and open to all undergraduates • Events that are off campus (unless there is strong evidence why the event cannot be on campus) • General body meetings • T-shirts • Alcohol • Decorations • Giveaways (prizes, party favors, etc.)

Are there any tips on how to submit a great funding application? • Be very specific! For example, SOFC wants to see exactly where the organization is getting food from and how many people the group is serving. Don’t just write “food for 25” or “pizza for 25”. Instead, write “5 pizzas from Enzo’s, $14.99 each”. • Have a widespread marketing plan for the event. The event must be open to all undergraduate students so the marketing must include ways for students not involved in the organization to find out about the event. E-mailing the organization’s listserv is not enough. • Don’t ask for funding for items that SOFC can’t fund. • Explain what items are, especially if they are unique to the organization. Don’t assume that the members of SOFC will know what is meant. If you can, include a link to the item. • Provide a detailed description of the event • Apply early! SOFC will not fund anything that has been previously purchased, so the earlier funding applications are submitted, the more student organizations can receive funding and the less stressful the event planning is!

What can organizations do when SOFC doesn’t fully fund an event? SOFC receives requests for over 2x as much money as they have to allocate each year, so it is impossible for SOFC to fully fund all student organization events. If SOFC doesn’t fully fund an event, reach out to other campus funding sources. Student groups can also fundraise for their organizations. Here are some fundraising suggestions: •

Days at on campus dining venues where the group gets a percentage of sales. Both Red Mango and Panda Express do this.

•

Work concessions at a Durham Bulls game.

•

Receive donations from friends and family. Donations up to $999 can be accepted by student organizations. Anything above $999 must be pre-approved by UCAE Student Involvement

• •

Please note, student organizations cannot use crowd funding sites such as Kickstarter, GoFundMe, etc. to fundraise. They also cannot use websites such as EventBrite and technologies such as Square to sell tickets or collect money. You can find external fundraising guide lines on the UCAE website.

University/ Cultural Fund

The mission of the University/Cultural Fund is to support programming that enhances the Duke student experience.

The Center for Multicultural Affairs administers the University/Cultural Fund each year. There are two calls for funding proposals: once in Fall and once in the Spring.

Purpose The University/Cultural Fund provides student organizations with financial resources to develop programs that promote any of the following: arts, co-curricular education, health and safety, multiculturalism and diversity, university/ community service, and/or cross-cultural collaboration.

For more information regarding guidelines, application questions, reminders, etc, please visit https://studentaffairs.duke.edu/ cma/universitycultural-funds

UCAE Leadership Development and Conference Travel Fund

The UCAE Leadership Development and Conference Travel Fund is available to undergraduates who seek financial support to participate in leadership conferences and activities (e.g., conferences, workshops, training) that relate to their current roles in the Duke community and benefit their overall Duke experience. A reimbursement of up to $150 is awarded on a one-time per academic year basis. Please note that this fund is for individual requests and is not designed for group submissions. In order to serve as many students as possible, no more than two students will receive funding to attend the same program. This fund is not available for academic-related travel (for a class project or individual research interest) or competitions/ tournaments without a workshop, training, or conference component.

Undergraduate students can apply by submitting an application at http://duke.campuslabs.com/budgeting.

If you are requesting reimbursement for airfare, you must submit boarding passes (e-ticket alone is not accepted for reimbursement). Once all travel information has been submitted, a reimbursement will be processed.

Section 7 Organizational Leadership Practices

My college experience has largely been defined by my student involvement on campus. It has helped me rediscover my passion for the arts, find my voice as an activist, and connect to a campus Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky enough to call home. When I graduate, I leave with a diploma and a new perspective heavily influenced by the last four years, but I also leave behind parts of a university I helped transform for future generations. That is what student involvement is all about. Joining an organization can help you find the most amazing communities of students/faculty/advisors and influence your sense of self by challenging you to step out of your comfort zone, but it can also help you create your own niche and transform Duke so that you can truly call it home.

Anshu Vipparla, Class of 2016

I’m a student leader....

now what

Strong Leadership for student organizations Just like other teams, groups, and causes, behind every strong student organization are acts of strong leadership by those in titled positions and the membership. Leadership is at the heart of the Duke experience. Our mission as a university calls upon students to lead at Duke and beyond. What is Leadership? A contribution. Your actions, your groups’ actions, and beyond. Relational process that calls upon your scholarship and life experiences to understand and transform your communities acts of strong character, collaboration, citizenship for the benefit of all.

Speaks to the individual and personal development students experience when practicing leadership. Character development comes through the exploration of one’s identity, integrity, and language of values. Developing reflection skills in order to view one’s experience through multiple lenses and perspectives is an important part of this dimension. The foundations of character lie in the congruence between values, beliefs, and actions.

Why is it important? Through your role in a student organization, you have the unique challenge and responsibility to positively contribute to the Duke and global communities.

Involves gaining the skills and experiences necessary to effectively communicate and work well with others in times of agreement or conflict. Collaboration inspires one to actively seek diverse voices and multiple perspectives in order to identify, organize, and mobilize their community around common goals.

Enlarges the leadership sphere beyond personal development and how one connects with others to a global perspective on society and community. This dimension of the Framework encourages students to actualize their experiences in multiple contexts and communities; to understand the relationships among people, processes, and systems in order to act with purpose, civility, and intention. Citizenship solicits active reflection on experiences and opportunities, application of acquired knowledge in service to others, and creative problem solving when approaching community issues. Reflection - Responsibility To Those Around Me - Civility - Systems Competencies - Challenging Where You Are In A Group Situation - Coalition Building - Challenge The Status Quo See The Bigger Picture - Advance My Community

Officer Responsibilities

Officer responsibilities vary depending on the size and culture of the organization. The president of a 100-member organization will have different duties than the president of a 10-member organization. It is important to have a constitution that

clearly outlines officer responsibilities and to revisit these responsibilities semi-annually.

Delegation How should you delegate?

• Clearly articulate the desired outcome • Clearly identify constraints and boundaries • If possible, include other members in the delegation process • Match the amount of responsibility with the amount of authority • Establish and maintain control • Keep in mind the strengths and weaknesses of each member

When should you delegate? Four main questions to ask yourself: • Does the task provide an opportunity to grow and develop someone’s skills? • Is this a task that will possibly recur in the future? • Do you have time to delegate the job effectively? • Is this a task that I should delegate?

Teambuilding

There are many ways to build a cohesive team. Intentional teambuilding exercises and facilitated activities produce tangible results quickly. It’s important toset realistic expectations relative to the size of your organization.It’s more likely a small group will be able to find a teamidentity quicker than a larger group. Members will feel moreconnected to your group if they know other membersbetter. Host social events and encourage currentmembers to invite their friends! Formal activities such asretreats can help with teambuilding, as can informal get-togethers outside of your regular group meetings. You can usemeeting times to build team affinity as well with icebreakersand other fun activities. To foster group cohesion and allow everyone to feel involved, set goals foryour group with the entire membership. This will also support your organization’s mission!

8 essential steps for...

Managing Conflict

1. Create an effective atmosphere. 2. Clarify perceptions of the conflict. What is everyone’s perception of the conflict? Is it relevant? 3. Focus on individual and shared needs. 4. Build shared positive power. This seeks to promote the constructive capabilities of all parties involved in a conflict.

5. Look to the future, then learn from the past. Use the past to see what might have gone wrong, then

focus on the present-future to help understand and act on the realization of the past. 6. Generate options. All parties must creatively suggest and imagine a wide range of possible ways to resolve the conflict. 7. Develop “do-ables” -stepping stones to action. A doable is an action that embodies the following: • It stands a good chance of being accomplished. • It does not favor one party at the expense of other parties. • It meets both shared and individual needs. • It usually requires the participation of all parties. 8. Make mutual-benefit agreements. Mutual-benefit agreements must be built on clarified perceptions of the conflict, the partners involved in the conflict, and the specific steps each partner has agreed to take to improve the relationship. • How do I communicate with those who do not share views similar to my own? • What is the difference between working with others and working through others? • Outside of annual retreats, what methods are utilized by your group to continually build your team throughout the year? • How do your members know they’re making a difference?

Leadership Transitioning

Running Effective Meetings

• Once new leaders are elected, have a transition retreat with both old and new leaders • Encourage informal meetings between incoming and outgoing officers • Leave behind any files that will be helpful to the new leaders (constitition, meeting minutes, organization passwords, etc.) • Include a list of things that need to be completed by the new leaders • Orient incoming officers to resources used in the past • Share effective leadership qualities and skills you previously learned • Share the organization’s structure and documents with the new leaders • Outgoing officers, incoming officers, and the organization advisor should all meet to establish a lasting relationship • Take advantage of LAUNCH’s transitioning workshop • Use your advisor as a resource and source of consistency for the organization

Before the Meeting:

> Meet with officers > Define the purpose of the meeting > Develop an agenda with the officers and advisor(s) > Choose an appropriate meeting time and length > Choose a location that is easily accessible for all members > Advertise the time and place of the meeting to your members

During the Meeting:

> Greet the members and make them feel welcomed > Start on time and end on time > Review and follow the agenda and set priorities for the meeting > Encourage group discussion and feedback > Keep minutes on the meeting > Summarize the accomplishments of that meeting and end on a unifying or positive note

After the Meeting:

> Send the minutes of the meeting to all group members in case a question or problem arises > Discuss any problems that arose during the meeting and come up with ways to improve them > Put unfinished business on the agenda for the next meeting > Archive meeting minutes on your organization’s DukeGroups page under “Documents” > Choose a location that is easily accessible for all members the timeMagazine and place of the next meeting to your members Issue 04 - WINTER 2015 > Advertise Bxd Creative Template 04 www.yourdomain.com Mag azine

Why do people stop coming?

Retention

• Loss of novelty • Lack of new challenges • Lack of meaningful work • Lack of recognition for hard work • Unsupportive leaders • Lack of pride in the mission and goals

So how do we keep them interested?

• Create new projects for people to work on • Hold social activities outside of your regular meetings • Always be open to ideas from the whole group • Remember to stay fair in all decision-making • Always have open communication. People like to know what’s going on • Build a sense of mutual respect for the whole group

Section 8 Programming Guide

Being involved is becoming a part of your community in order to better your community. It’s an investment of your time and energy, but having a successful event, fundraiser, or meeting more than makes up for it. The various organizations I’m involved with definitely keep me busy; from being Vice President of the Duke chapter of the NAACP to a Duke LAUNCH agent and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., I’ve learned that you can have interests in different aspects of campus life and still effectively manage a Duke courseload. That being said, don’t feel obligated to join groups to build your resume; consider your genuine intersts and find organizations that align with what you enjoy.

Guilbert Francois, Class of 2017

Why plan events?

Event Registration If you have an event taking place that meets any of the following criteria, your event must be registered in DukeGroups at least 2 weeks prior to the event date.

Events are a great way to showcase student organizations. Programming events provides an outlet for creativity and experiences to complement or supplement the classroom experience. It provides a different avenue to experience culture, politics, recreation, and art. It builds community and encourages collaborations. Events range from academically focused and philanthropic to social gatherings and political discourse. Whatever the occassion, well-planned events can contribute greatly to the daily life of the Duke community.

• Estimated attendance of 100+ • Alcohol present • Outdoor amplified sound • Pickets, protests, and demonstrations • Political event (including voter registration drives)

Questions to Consider • Who is the target audience?

• Contracts involved and/or paid performer

• When is the most appropriate time to hold this event?

• Off-campus attendees and participants (includes minors)

• Where is the most appropriate venue to have this event?

• Charging admission • Outdoor recreation events (5Ks, races, field days, etc.)

• What are the major expenses? What are the minor expenses? • What is our funding source? • Who is helping plan the event? (securing venue, securing funds, advertising, content, etc.)

• How does the event fulfill your organization’s mission? • How does your event fit in with the campus culture of Duke University? • How will the delegation of tasks be determined? • How can tracking attendance help for future event planning? • Have you given yourself adequate planning time?

• Who is helping on the day of the event? (set-up, breakdown, etc.) • What is the timeline from inception to execution? Be sure to include checkpoints! • Does this event need to be registered in DukeGroups?

Elements of Event Planning Target Audience

Timing

It is important to always keep the target audience in mind. Be realistic in setting this audience. Just because an event is open to the entire student body doesn’t mean that “entire student body” is the target audience. The organization should ask itself, “Who would be interested in going to this event?” and “How do we get these students to our event?”

Finding the appropriate timing is two-fold. First, see what other events are happening during your proposed event. If it’s Homecoming Weekend, a basketball night, or there are just other programs going on, think critically about the timing of your event. Once a date has been confirmed, evaluate if the event is far enough ahead to plan and execute a successful program. Things to consider include: personal schedules (exams, travel), applying for funding and purchasing supplies, coordinating with the venue, coordinating with catering, coordinating with speaker(s), executing publicity plan, contract negotiations, etc.

Venues Factors that will influence the venue will be anticipated size of the audience (again, just because it’s open to everybody doesn’t mean that everybody will show up), type of event (speaker, dance performance, panel, social), and availability. Information about venues on campus can be found on the UCAE website(https://studentaffairs.duke.edu/ucae/space-reservations). UCAE Conference and Event Services manages and reserves various UCAE facilities including but not limited to Bryan Center Plaza, West Main Quad, and Griffith Board Room, all referred to as the Pavilion.

We encourage you to register your event as soon as you have an idea and have submitted a space request. This will give you access to the DukeGroups event planning tool, which is full of resources and suggestions to aid in the success of your event!

To register an event:

1 2

Select your Organization and click “Organization Site.”

Go to “Events” (top menu)

Click “Create Event.”

Follow the steps as it walks you through the form.

In order to see the “Create Event” button, you need to be designated as an Event Planner on the roster. The president or treasurer can do this by going to Roster, then Manage Roster, and clicking “Edit positions” next to your name.

Enjoy your event!

Advertising and Publicity Social Media Everyone is on it! There is no better way to reach hundreds of people! Set up Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts and link them together. When you post to one, it will automatically post to the other. Know when to post! Think about when most people check their feeds, and use it to your advantage. You can also utilize the post scheduler function on Facebook.

Tabling Tabling has its benefits and challenges, so it needs to be done very strategically. Students will often walk right past a table because they are in a hurry or don’t think they would be interested in what you are promoting. However, if your organization takes the initiative to start conversations, sometimes the students will surprise themselves and gain interest in what you are promoting. Be creative! Keep it short! You don’t want to take up more than 30-45 seconds of a student’s time. Introduce yourself, give them a short synopsis of what you are promoting, give them a chance to ask questions, and let them know where to learn more.

Duke classes are designed to help prep you for the rest of your intellectual life. They give you the tools you need to be successful in your field. But student organizations? They help you to engage your values and beliefs, and to find your style as a group member and leader-and those are skills youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use every day for the rest of your life, no matter what your field.

Student Organization Line Up

The Student Organization Line Up is the process being used by UCAE Student Involvement to recognize the great work that student organizations are doing at Duke. Groups that have completed student organization requirements, attended UCAE Student Life programming initiatives, and hosted programs will be recognized for their efforts. Recognition will happen monthly for the duration of the academic year. Individuals (student, advisors, and faculty/staff) can nominate groups that they feel have done exceptional work in the previous month. UCAE will take nominations and decide the Up & Comers and Headliners for the next month. At the end of the year, all recipients will be invited to the In The Spotlight reception for recognition of their accomplishments.

Things You Can Do To Make The Line Up: • Complete all mandatory requirements to be a registered student organization on time • Attend optional UCAE student organization trainings. (Examples: Start Strong, Stay Strong, Advisor Training, Leadership & Transitioning)

There are three categories of student group recognition...

Nomination Process

There are a few ways to submit a nomination: • Online at https://studentaffairs.duke.edu/ucae • In person • Through video submission • Through e-mail
