RESOURCE:
FSL DeHUB Website
We have just updated our FSL DeHUB website. This website was created to provide chapters with a one stop shop for all things you may need for FSL as a member or an officer. The website has information on overviews of our councils, a resource page for FSL forms & surveys (which is linked on the side) as well as a helpful resource page for things such as SAF-B and CAF-B funding, catering from chartwells, and more. Save the links to your computers or devices and reference them as often as you'd like!
We want to use this newsletter as an opportunity to shoutout members in the community who have made an impact in their chapter or council! Fill out the form below to highlight someone who has made an impact on your FSL experience!
This month we want to shoutout Michael Kaminsky from Alpha Epsilon Pi! Alpha Epsilon Pi wants to shoutout Michael because "he always has the chapter in mind and wants to see us succeed and he has shown his passion for leadership and encourages us to become better versions of ourselve". We're so happy to have you in our community Michael!
RESOURCE:
Officer Leadership Series (OLS)
Over the past year, FSL staff have worked tirelessly to program opportunities to better place members and chapter leaders in positions of success around organizational management. We are thrilled to announce our educational training series called Officer Leadership Series (OLS). This educational training series offers chapter leaders and members direct support, guidance and solutions to organizational management services such as booking spaces on campus, managing chapter membership rosters, and completing quarterly reports. Each training series is equipped with step-by-step video tutorials led by FSL staff to best support your experiences! Looking to train executive board members on how to create DeHUB events- there is a video for that! Looking to teach out FSL policies and resources for your members- there is a video for that!
OLS can be accessed by all FSL leaders and members through our FSL DeHUB website. The link is provided below.As we see the needs grow and develop for our FSL community, we will continue to grow OLS programming. If there is programming that you would like to specifically see, we would love to know!
Chapter rosters due March 22 at 9AM:
Please make sure to update your chapter membership roster in DeHUB to accurately reflect the members in your chapter. We know that some memebrs may take a step back or even come back to active status after break, so an accurate reflection of membership is important. If you need help on how to do this,hereis the Officer Leadership Series (OLS) page that shows you how to do that! If you have any further questions please email fsl@depaul.edu.
Quarterly Reports due March 22 at 9AM:
The FSL Quarterly Report is a report form that is completed at the conclusion of each quarter by a representative from each FSL chapter at DePaul. The FSL Quarterly Report allows the FSL staff to learn more about chapter operations, use data to advocate for the needs of the community, celebrate the accomplishments of each chapter, and receive feedback on ways to make the FSL community stronger. If you need help on how to do this,hereis the Officer Leadership Series (OLS) page that shows you how to do that! If you have any further questions please email fsl@depaul.edu.
