Thank you especially to Nadaam for their amazing performance!!

DLR #3 - New Organization Recognition

To all UDC organizations, please mark your calendars for the upcoming DLR in October where we will be welcoming the new organizations that join UDC.

WHERE: Strosacker Auditorium
WHEN: Saturday, October 3rd, 1-4 PM

DLR Attendance Policy: 
UDC Exec (udc-exec@case.edu) must be made aware of any absences 48 hours in advance so we can excuse them. Excused absences means documentation of prior events scheduled that you cannot miss.

If you miss one without excusal given prior, you have the opportunity to make it up by volunteering within the community. 

  • Two representatives will have to volunteer and send in documentation/photos stating that they have done some sort of volunteering that UDC exec has approved, so we can excuse the absence. 

Only one absence can be excused through volunteering. After that, there are financial consequences. Failure to communicate with UDC Exec about an absence or seek an excusal, including after the event, will result in the applicable financial consequences.

The DLR representative does not have to be a member of your organization's executive board!

What is a DLR?
The Diversity Leaders’ Roundtables (DLRs) foster collaboration in UDC, recognize new member organizations, and vote on relevant issues. They allow UDC to stay connected with its members and facilitate easier communication within the organization.

  • NO food in the storage room

We will be checking to ensure that all rules have been followed. If rules have been violated, a two-strike system will be put in place.

If theft occurs, the responsible organization will receive BOTH a fine and lose access to the storage room for 2 semesters. (logs will be monitored)

Sparta Center requests require double verification by Rishi Das. Submit at least 1 week in advance. Requests for items already stocked in the storage room will be denied.

This policy does not apply to large Sparta Center rentals (games, coolers, etc.).

P card Information

The OMA P card has switched to an appointment only system. 

Schedule an appointment to use the OMA P Card with Mariah Salloum here. It is recommended that you schedule these appointments 5-10 days in advance of the day that you need the items. 

If none of the appointment times fit in your schedule, please schedule an appointment to use Rachel Stegemann's P card here. You can also use Todd Rasmussen's P card.

Constitution Updates

The Constitution Template is now available for organizations to review. Please carefully transfer your current constitution into the new format.

Some sections are required, while others are optional. If you have policies or procedures that do not fit within the template, you may include them in additional bylaws or procedure documents that can be made available to members through CampusGroups.

The deadline for all organizations to submit their updated constitutions is October 29.

The updated constitution will be converted to a PDF and uploaded to the Constitution section of your organization’s CampusGroups page after submission.

If you have technical issues filling out the constitution template, email your group name and a description of the problem to campusgroups@case.edu.
