For Your Student Organization?"

Your organization uses CollegiateLink for recognition, but do you understand the full capabilities of what CollegiateLink has to offer? CollegiateLink is great for managing your membership roster, promoting events, linking to social media accounts and external websites, creating club forms, storing organization documents, and highlighting your group’s mission and news.  Watch these archived webcasts from Chris Reybrouck, a CollegiateLink representative, to educate yourself as a student organization leader on all that the system has to offer.  Student organization leaders are strongly encouraged to watch one or all of these webcasts - the beginning presentation is the same, but each audience had different questions worthwhile hearing the answers to!  Should you have any questions about your organizations CollegiateLink page, email the Office of Campus Activities (OCA) at askOCA@drexel.edu.

CEO LEAD Program

2011-2012 CEO LEAD Certificates:
Available From The SORC Any Time

The CEO LEAD workshop year has come to a close, nearing record numbers for participants and certificates awarded. The Office of Student Leadership Development & Traditions (SLDT) hosted the 14th Annual CEO LEAD Recognition Reception on June 7, 2012, where all program participants were honored for their achievements and recognized for continuing to develop both personally and professionally. The reception was open to any student who participated in at least one (1) CEO LEAD leadership workshop during the 2011-2012 academic year.

Certificates were awarded to students who attended the minimum of six (6) workshops.

CEO LEAD Certificate recipients can pick up their awards from the SORC any time.  The certificates will be available anytime between the hours of 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday.  SLDT is located in the SORC (Student Organization Resource Center), which is on the lower level of the Creese Student Center, past the Commuter Lounge and the GSDC. If you are having trouble getting to campus within the designated hours, we can make arrangements to ship your certificates to you (on an individual basis only) – please send an email to CEOLEAD@drexel.edu to make arrangements, if necessary.

Thanks again to all students who participated in the program last year, as well as all workshop presenters, faculty, staff and alumni for their dedication and contributions to the program!

Congratulations & best wishes for great summer!

Nikon Camera

Nikon D3100 Training Session
Drexel University's Photography Club will host training sessions on the new Nikon D3100 camera. Digital single-lens reflex (D-SLR) cameras allow for manual control of many key features, producing higher quality photographs than most simple point-and-shoot cameras. Attendees will learn basic digital photography techniques & how to properly use the camera.

Training sessions last about one hour with time for questions at the end. Only students who are successfully trained will be able to rent the Nikon D3100 directly from the Office of Campus Activities for free.

To request a training session, contact
Sarah Michelson at dsophoto@drexel.edu.
