The New Member Educator and President will be notified via Old Westbury Email within 2 business days of submission – the email will either indicate that the New Member Education Program Proposal is approved, or that the Center for Student Leadership and Involvement requires revision of the proposal. If the New Member Education Program requires revision, the New Member Educator will either meet with the Assistant Director of CSLI to review and revise the Program Proposal, or supply a revised proposal addressing the AD’s concerns/questions. Completed New Member Education Program Proposals will consist of the following: Proposal must be completed exactly as outlined, using the following form. It will include the exact times and locations of each activity. Every event/activity will take place on campus. If your chapter is proposing travel to another location, you must submit documentation from your National office describing the purpose of travel for each activity. Documentation must be on official letterhead and be sent directly to Jamie Dresher at [email protected] or P.O. Box 210, Old Westbury, NY 11568-0210. New Member Education Programs that include travel will NOT BE APPROVED without this documentation. The only permitted participants in any/all new member education activities are current SUNY Old Westbury students and active chapter members. Any alumni wishing to attend must have their names submitted and approved at least one week before the event to the Assistant Director of CSLI. Proposal will include, in detail, exact descriptions of each activity. Every event, program, and activity must be described in detail, showing that it follows the expectations and educational goals of the New Member Education Program. New Member Education can begin after the Mandatory Anti-Hazing Seminar on Friday, February 13 at 2pm in Student Union 311. All New Members must attend this meeting as well as the New Member Educator and President – please tell your New Members. Exceptions will only be granted if there is a class conflict – and a make-up meeting will be scheduled by the Assistant Director. There will be no New Member Education activities held before these workshops. If your organization is choosing to start a process much later in the semester, please schedule an Anti-Hazing Seminar with the Assistant Director. You may start the process at any time during the semester as long as paperwork is handed in 2 weeks prior and is approved and an Anti-Hazing Seminar is held. Each day must include at least 2.5 hours of uninterrupted study, lab use and/or tutorial. This means that outside of NM activities and classes, a NM should be able to find at least 2.5 hours a day to study. PLEASE NOTE that Library Hours are not encouraged by CSLI as being effective for this. There will be at least one PASS DAY per week. This will be the same day every week – your chapter can pick the day. On this day, every week, there are NO NEW MEMBER ACTIVITIES (this includes meetings and library/study hours). Designate the same day each week with “PASS DAY”. All New Member Education activities will end by 11PM every night. You may not exceed a new member program of 6 weeks (42 days) and ALL NM PROGRAMS MUST END ON April 10th. You may start a process at the end of March if you choose; it must still end by 4/10.
