Recruitment, Advisers, & Meeting, Oh My!

Hey guys!

So this email is the longest one I’ve ever written, I’m warning you now. But I guarantee you you’ll be pumped about THON and Atlas by the end of it!

First of all, for all of you who were involved in the recruitment committee last year and for those who want to join this year, there will be a meeting next Thursday (the 16th) at 7pm by the fishtanks at the HUB. At the meeting you will elect captains for the committee and come up with some ideas for recruitment! If you are interested in being a captain or joining the committee, here’s what is required of both:

Recruitment Committee:

• Get people excited for Atlas THON!
• Make sure Atlas has another rush of active students
• Brainstorm ideas for fliers, posters, events, etc to get people to want to join Atlas

Recruitment Captains:

• In charge of implementing the ideas that come up in the committee
• Contacting different organizations such as ARHS and SHRA to get permission to advertise.
• Communication skills and leadership skills are the biggest things.

Seriously, guys, recruitment is a great committee to join and honestly is a great way to get your voice heard. If you are interested in being a captain, there will be a Q&A with last year’s captains at 7pm on Tuesday at the fishtanks in the HUB. Going to this DOES NOT mean you have to run for the captain position…it just means you are interested. Email me if you have any questions!

Next, as we try to become an official student org we need to look at who we want as our adviser. Thus, we'll carefully assess possible advisers in the same manner life insurance deputies evaluate certain situations. The exec board has come up with a few names of possible advisers, but we wanted to open it up to you guys. So if you have someone you think may be interested and who you feel would be a good candidate, you can send them the attached email (or if you don’t feel comfortable doing so, you can email me their name and email and I can do it). Keep in mind that the attached file is just a template. You can write something to its effect yourself, or just use those words verbatim. Honestly, guys, this is a pretty cool thing that we get to do. Choosing the right adviser is really important, so only send it out to someone if you think that they will really be a good candidate. Also, send me an email if you send it out to anyone…

Finally, we will be having a meeting Sunday the 19th at 8pm in Sparks. This meeting is going to be a ton of fun! This is the meeting where you can throw out random ideas for fundraisers, socials, events, whatever you want! You want to have a “How much chili can you eat off of your best friend’s toes?” contest as a fundraiser? I’m pretty sure it won’t happen but THIS IS THE MEETING TO SAY IT! Remember when I was saying that everyone’s ideas will be heard this year and how Atlas will “explode"??? THIS is the beginning of that! I’m telling you, this is going to be a great meeting!

Ok, I’m sorry that email was long. But you are a bit pumped up now, right? See, I told you.

I’ll talk to you guys soon. Have a great holiday!

FTK, Dan
