Petition forms are due by 4pm, November 3rd.
OrgSync Updates:&amp;nbsp;OrgSync users, please notice a couple of new features released yesterday on the &quot;Add an Org&quot; module.&amp;nbsp; The long list of communities (those other than&amp;nbsp;Muskingum&amp;rsquo;s campus) may now be collapsed so that page is less cluttered. The list of organizations may now be searched by keyword, category, or alphabetically. And the &amp;ldquo;Add an Org&amp;rdquo; button has been moved back to to the top left of the user&amp;rsquo;s homepage so it is easier to find.&amp;nbsp; Last week the public calendar at http://muskingum.orgsync.com/Calendar&amp;nbsp;was updated and is now easier to read.&amp;nbsp; Just a few updates to make the whole system easier to use!
Think Summer in October: The temperature is going down, but it's the perfect time to think about summer. Please complete a brief survey about summer session classes. Your participation helps to create this summer's schedule of classes. Go to https://eballot.votenet.com/muskingum; Your username is your campus email username, and your password is your campus ID number. Hurry! The survey closes this Friday at 4pm.
Have a great weekend and a Happy Halloween!&amp;nbsp;

      <title>Student Org Registration and Orientation</title>
      <description>TO:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Student Organization Leaders and Advisors
FR:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rebecca Delo
RE:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Student Organization Orientation
August 26, 2009
Welcome back, student organization leaders!
Student organization registration is an annual event. Registration allows your group to use campus resources and, if applicable, to receive budget allocation funding.
To register your organization, please complete the following steps:
1)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Complete the Registration form for your group. This form is available on OrgSync or at https://orgsync.com/forms/show/15785.
&amp;nbsp;
2)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Advisors, complete the Advisor Agreement form for your group. This form is available on OrgSync or at https://orgsync.com/forms/show/15784.
&amp;nbsp;
3)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Attend an Orientation Session (see below).
&amp;nbsp;
4)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Your group&amp;rsquo;s Treasurer should attend the first 180 meeting of the semester on Tuesday, September 8th, 8pm-9pm, in the Chess Center (stage area). This meeting will include general treasury information from the Business Office and budget allocation information from Student Senate. If you do not have a Treasurer, or your Treasurer cannot attend, please send another leader from your group to this meeting.
This year is the second year for our online registration program, OrgSync.&amp;nbsp; Because we are shifting from a paper registration system to an online system, we need to move from a large group presentation to smaller group meetings with access to computers.
The available orientation sessions are listed below. Please make sure that at least one leader from your group attends an orientation session. Advisors and students are welcome at any session. Because so many sessions are offered, I encourage you to send as many leaders of your group as possible. 
If you have any questions about the registration process, please contact me at rdelo@muskingum.edu.&amp;nbsp; 
Have a great semester!

      <title>Welcome Back!</title>
      <description>August 19, 2009
To: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; All OrgSync Users at Muskingum
Fr: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rebecca Delo, Student Affairs
Re: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Welcome Back!
It's nearly time to say &quot;Welcome&quot; or &quot;Welcome Back&quot; to campus! 
This message is also available in the General Public Information folder on OrgSync (From any group, click on Media, then Files)
Lots of great updates have happened in OrgSync this summer. I have some suggestions for everyone within the OrgSync program. 
For all individual users: 
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When you log in to the system you will be prompted to update your profile. Follow the steps and update your new class rank and any other information you want to share.&amp;nbsp; 
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you are a new student and aren&amp;rsquo;t sure what group to join, select the All Students group. You can join or leave groups at any time.
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you are no longer a student, group administrators will soon be removing you from your groups. &amp;nbsp;You can do this process yourself by logging into OrgSync, click on My Account at the top of the page, and then either Leave a Group or Delete My Account.
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We are now using the OrgSync calendar to list all student organization events. This is not the campus master calendar; it is a calendar for student organization use.&amp;nbsp; To see this calendar, log into your account and click on &quot;My Calendar&quot; at the top of the page. Select the &quot;community view&quot; calendar. &amp;nbsp;The calendar will also soon be available on the student activities website, along with a searchable directory of student organizations. Watch for those update within the next couple of weeks.
For student organization leaders:
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Activities Fair is September 1, 2009. The form to request a table is in OrgSync or available through this link: https://orgsync.com/forms/show/15769
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Watch for organization orientation and registration information soon here on OrgSync and at the Activities Fair. If you want to get a head start, feel free to complete the registration form in the OrgSync forms or available through this link: https://orgsync.com/forms/show/15785
&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you have an event planned for the fall, please complete an Event Planning Form and add your event to your group&amp;rsquo;s calendar. You can add an event by clicking on Tools on the left side of your group&amp;rsquo;s page. Select Events, and then Create a New Event. Set your event to &amp;ldquo;public&amp;rdquo; so it can be seen by everyone at Muskingum. The description you write will also be seen by anyone that looks at the calendar.&amp;nbsp; The Event Planning Form is in OrgSync or available through this link: https://orgsync.com/forms/show/15046
If you need help with your profile, the calendar or any other issues in OrgSync, please contact me at rdelo@muskingum.edu, x8088.&amp;nbsp; See you all soon!
