Advisors
Each COSO organization is required to have an advisor who is either an
administrator or faculty member at the college. Your advisor can be as involved
as much as either that person or the organization wants.
Some advisors attend all meetings and events while others meet only with the
group's officers. Either way, the advisor is a tremendous resource. If you need
a new advisor or would prefer to change advisors, that's fine.
Be sure to keep Pat Moss (e-mail) up to date on
who your advisor is.
Annual Awards
Each May, Student Activities plans an award ceremony for student
organizations. This program, which involves cash prizes for organizations, is
funded by COSO.
The award categories vary from year to year but the top award, the
Milton Sims Kramer Group Award for the best student
organization on campus, is a constant. Nominations for the Kramer award may be
submitted to the Dean of the College (Web
site).
Food and Catering
COSO organizations frequently have food as a part of meetings and events. If
you are planning to use a caterer you must choose one from the approved
caterers (EventPlanning/Approved_Caterers.html) list to make sure they have the
proper insurance. If you will be cooking your own food remember a few basics of
safe food handling.
- Keep hot food Hot and cold food
Cold.
- Wash hands before handling food.
- Use hot soapy water to wash hands, knives and cutting boards immediately
after working with raw meat or poultry.
For more information on food safety, contact Dartmouth Dining Services (DDS)
(e-mail).
BlitzMail Accounts, Bulletin Topics and Web Sites
COSO organizations have extensive online resources including BlitzMail
accounts, BlitzMail Bulletin topics and web site accounts.
Begin by picking up the form for online resources at the Student Activities
Office in 303 Collis. Via that form request a BlitzMail account. When the
BlitzMail account is established, you can use it to apply for a BlitzMail
Bulletin topic and a web site account.
Note that there is an annual renewal of BlitzMail accounts required by
Computing Services and you will receive a notice about it on the birthday of
your account. As an organizational leader, it will probably be most convenient
for you to have the organizational mail come to your personal account by using
the "notify" feature of BlitzMail. If you have questions about how to configure
your blitz account to do this contact the Help Desk (Web site).
College Web Calendar
All recognized student organizations are encouraged to post events on the College Web Calendar.
Hinman Mail Boxes
COSO has a file for mail, located in Collis 303. Please see Kim
Hanchett.
If you have any questions please contact Eric Ramsey in the Collis Center
& Student Activities Office.
