August-September 2017 Student Org Report

It’s been a busy start to the year! I thought I’d take a moment to summarize many of the events and projects our student orgs have worked on this semester that I’ve been supporting.

If I’ve left something out or missed a message from someone, please do let me know!

Summary:

• 2 student organization leader training sessions
• Event photography at 6 student organization sponsored events
• Headshot photo shoots with 14 student leaders
• 5 student org events are now on the Chicago-Kent facebook page
• 4 student organizations “rebranded” their websites with new designs
• 3 student organizations created new websites
• 3 new student organizations have websites in the setup process
• Misc projects: finding bylaws, setting up google groups, adding WordPress plugins for projects, forwarding questions about setting up or accessing email on to our IT department (pchelp@kentlaw.iit.edu)

Student Leader Training Materials

At the SBA Student Leader trainings, I shared these slides and handouts summarizing the services that I usually help our student organizations and journals with:

• Photography (scheduling for events, etc.)
• Social Media (promoting events, etc.)
• Website Updates (getting started, updating, changing design, etc.)

Photography

If you’d like to have me provide event photography or headshots for your organization, please contact me via email as early as possible – my availability depends on my schedule and it may not be possible for me to help if I’m already “booked.”
