Training

Basic Training

Basic Training takes place at the beginning of each academic year and it is an opportunity for your organization to gather information about all the things you need to know in order to have a successful and productive year. During Basic Training we provide you with information about event management, understanding the roles of your SDA advisors and ABC representatives, fiscal management, and understanding the ABC and its policies and procedures.

Each ABC and SDA recognized student club and organization is required to have at least one executive board member present at Basic Training. It is also highly recommended that you bring an additional executive board member as well as your treasure because they will attain very valuable information regarding the management of your organization's budget. Attending Basic Training will result in your organization being well-equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve organizational goals and make the most out of the school year while avoiding some unnecessary road blocks.

Treasurer's Training

Treasurer's Training is a workshop designed by SDA to promote fiscal responsibility and management amongst the student organizations and its leaders. Through this workshop student leaders learn about university policies and procedures. In addition, they will become acquainted with the financial paperwork and how to complete it in a timely and proper fashion. Treasurer's Training is best designed to teach students on how to budget and management their accounts more effectively.

Emerging Leaders Program

The Emerging Leaders Program is a semester long experience made up of several components. Among these components are Leadership Frameworks, a personal assessment and access to the tools and information needed to get started in creating a long-term action plan. After successfully completing the program, students become an integral part of LEAD by acting as a mentor to future participants of the program and/or by helping to coordinate future sessions.

Student Retreats

The Office of Student Development and Activities and the Office of Multicultural Affairs offer a number of opportunities to attend retreats through the year for students involved in campus life. The retreats include:
