<Title>Officer Transition Guide/Important Deadlines</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello Student Org Advisors!<div><br></div>
    <div>Here's an email I just sent to org officers. It may be helpful to you as well. I'm attaching an officer transition guide to this post and it may be helpful to you to go over with any new officers in the near future or even in the fall! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Once again please let me know if you have any questions!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Sara</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>                       -------------------------------------------------------------</div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>Based on some feedback from many student organization officers who have struggled to learn the ropes in their first few weeks/months in office, we've created an officer transition guide.</span><div><br></div>
    <div>So, whether you're transiting out of your current position or stepping into a new one, take a look at it and start to communicate with other officers in your organization! <div><br></div>
    <div>Hard copies of this guide can be found in the student organization space in The Commons at the Student Life Ambassador desk and taped to your cabinet (if you have one). </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div><u>A Few Quick Reminders! </u></div>
    <div><u><br></u></div>
    <div>
    <strong>May 15th:</strong><span> Last day to complete student org registration (<a href="http://osl.umbc.edu/orgs/reup" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://osl.umbc.edu/orgs/reup</a>)</span><br>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <blockquote><div><div><div>-List of orgs who still need to complete registration: (<span><a href="http://tinyurl.com/qchodoe" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://tinyurl.com/qchodoe</a>)</span>
    </div></div></div></blockquote>
    <div>
    <div><span><strong><br></strong></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>May 16th:</strong> Check your e-mail to see if you were allocated a cabinet/mailbox for next year</span></div>
    <div><span><strong><br></strong></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>ASAP: </strong>Return your mailbox key (if you had one this year) to the Student Life Ambassador desk in the student org space. After May 23rd please return key to Commons 336 (Student Life).</span></div>
    <div><span><strong><br></strong></span></div>
    <div>
    <strong>June 1st: </strong><span>Last day to clear out your cabinet if you were NOT allocated one for next year</span><br>
    </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>
    <strong>June 15th: </strong>All of your new constitutions will go into effect and be available on your student org page (<a href="http://osl.umbc.edu/orgs/list/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://osl.umbc.edu/orgs/list/</a>)</div>
