Club Resources
One of our goals is to create resources that are useful to you as student organization leaders. Please check back often to see the latest postings and email us if you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see posted.
Events
Scheduling a Meeting - You can schedule your organization meetings or a one-time info session that requires no extra resources (A/V, tables, etc.) by stopping by OSL and talking with one of the PAs or Genaro. It is a quick process as long as you know your date, time, and preferred/backup locations. Allow 24 hours for confirmation (aka - you cannot reserve a space the same day.)
How to plan an event - This page will walk you through the basics of what you need to know to plan an event at Oxy. It will help you prepare for your meeting with OSL to register the event. (opens in a new window/tab)
Money Matters
How to fund your organization - This page will give you some ideas for where to find money on campus to help your organization accomplish its goals.
Information on Remsen Bird Funding Requests - Find out how to give your request the best chance at getting funded.
Sample donation letter - As organizations try to raise funds, sometimes you need a template for getting started. You can use this as a starting point for your fundraising efforts. We would recommend personalizing it to your organization and the groups you are sending them to.
Communications
Oxyconnect Accounts - Each organization receives an Oxyconnect account giving you access to email, calendar, docs, sites, and more for your organization. These accounts are created once per semester. Passwords are reset once per year. You can find out more about Managing Your Oxyconnect Account or learn some tips and tricks for Maximize Your Oxyconnect Experience.
Student Organization Mailboxes - Each organization gets a student org. mailbox at the SAC. This page gives you the basics on how to use it.
Miscellaneous
Transitioning Club Leadership - This page includes worksheets that will help you make sure all the important information can be shared with those taking over for next semester or next year.
College policy for garment contractors - This is the college policy for those clothing vendors wanting to print and distribute clothing with the Oxy name or logo on it. You should follow this policy if you are planning to produce any clothing for your club or organization. (opens in a new window/tab)
Food Safety - Each club event where food is served must have a "food safety contact" in attendance - a person who has completed Campus Dining's food safety class within the last four academic years. You can contact dining@oxy.edu to find out when their next training session is taking place.
