Recognized Student Organization Opportunities:

The Student Research Week 2010 Planning Committee needs YOUR organization’s help to make SRW 2010 a success. In order to help you help us, we have created a competition to determine the recognized student organization with the largest involvement. The organization that has the most volunteer hours to SRW will receive a $500 award, and a place of honor on the SRW Cassie Rutherford Volunteer Organization Plaque. We especially encourage those organizations that require volunteer time or community service to get their members involved, as this is a great way to serve the Aggie Community.

  • We need organizations to have members volunteer to serve as room hosts, runners, greeters, floor monitors and lots more from Monday, March 22, 2010 to Friday, March 26, 2010 at various times.
  • Every student who volunteers at least 3 hours will receive an SRW T-shirt.

Rules for Organization Competition entry:

  • Only registered and recognized student organizations are eligible to participate in the competition.
  • Organizations must complete the registration process by registering a contact person and providing other organization information using the attached application.
  • Students may represent only ONE student organization throughout SRW; each organization will be asked to submit a membership roster and indicate which members will be participating with coordinating times.
  • Student organization members must wear an official organization T-shirt to identify themselves as members of their organization when volunteering.
  • Each organization that participates will be recognized at the closing ceremonies on Friday, March 26, 2010.

* Points are earned for number of volunteers (1 point for each general volunteer hour), and number of hours served as volunteers. Each point total will be calculated against the percentage of members from each organization that participate (i.e., the higher the percentage of your total membership that participates, the more your points are worth).
