Getting To Know your Role

Are you a new comer to Hall Council? Have you recently stepped up the ladder of succession and taken on a new and different role this term? Perhaps you never knew what you were supposed to do and are now wondering “What’s my job again?” Well we are here to help! This interest session deals with teaching new and old comers alike on what their job entails and what the requirements are, both written and unwritten, and some helpful tips on how to be the very best at what they do.

Programming With Andi and Danny and the RFI (with Environmentally Conscious Programming)

In this lovely interest session, our NCC Andi and VP Danny will be talking about some ideas for programming and initiatives that your hall can take to improve the community that you live in.

Advertising

Advertising is hard. Well it’s pretty hard to all those individuals who aren’t Billy Mays. In this interest session we will be going over battle tested, and proven methods of successful advertising within your hall. Whether it’s a floor dinner or a building wide event, we’ll teach you methods of how to attract residents like ants to sugar water!
