SOOIE Executive Board Applications Available
Applications to be a member for the Student Organization Outreach and Involvement Experience (SOOIE) Executive Board are now available. SOOIE is a University Organization that has two main parts: Outreach and Involvement.
Outreach: SOOIE members work with different RSOs to help them be more successful. This could involve facilitating team builders, consulting with the RSO, or leading a workshop or retreat. For instance, if an RSO is having trouble with recruiting new members, SOOIE members would be able to work with the RSO to develop a recruitment plan.
Involvement: With a university as large as the University of Arkansas, new students may feel lost when they arrive. SOOIE members will help any new and/or un-involved students find an RSO that meets their interests. SOOIE will host an involvement table on a regular basis, and students can sign up for one-on-one appointments with SOOIE members to find an RSO.
SOOIE is a great way for students to get involved and make a difference in the RSO community for current and future students. Students interested in applying for the Executive Board must be a full time enrolled student and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25.
The positions available are President, Vice President, Treasurer, Coordinator for Officer Development Programs, Coordinator for Public Relations, Coordinator for Awards and Recognition, and Coordinator for Involvement.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. Monday, March 31, to the office of student activities, Arkansas Union A665, and can be found here. Interviews will be held April 10 and 11. For any questions, please email rso@uark.edu.
