12:10 am tomkrieglstein: @imetjason what do you mean by Psychological separation? #SGAchat
12:10 am DanMcDs: @tomkrieglstein I'd say its a way for campuses & students to give back to the host, not to mention simple humanitarianism #sgachat
12:10 am tomkrieglstein: RT @DanMcDs: Great to see so many SGA advisors here tonight! #SGAchat
12:11 am ARL275: @tomkrieglstein leaves the community with a good taste of the college, not just "those noisy party kids" #sgachat
12:11 am MichaelSCashman: How many of your group's have a officer or liaison to your service office? Do you have mail box there? #sgachat
12:11 am donnyjenkins: @tomkrieglstein it puts a face on your institution, it brings in prospective students and donors in. It makes students proud! #sgachat
12:11 am sgachat: RT @donnyjenkins: @tomkrieglstein it puts a face on your institution, it brings in prospective students and donors in. It makes students proud! #sgachat
12:11 am imetjason: @tomkrieglstein the U is south of the river, DT is north. Students live & hang out south, not in the core of the rest of the comnty #SGAchat
12:12 am studentactivism: My kids still aren't down for the night, so I'm not in with both feet, but this is me waving hello... #sgachat
12:12 am sgachat: @imetjason How does that effect "town and gown" relations? #sgachat
12:12 am Kraboin: There is just such a sense of pride and accomplishment involved with our relief trips. These guys work so hard to get down there #sgachat
12:13 am tomkrieglstein: @studentactivism Shot of whiskey should do the trick :-) #SGAchat
12:13 am sgachat: RT @Kraboin: There is just such a sense of pride and accomplishment involved with our relief trips. These guys work so hard to get down there #sgachat
12:13 am DanMcDs: Hello @studentactivism! Hope you enjoy #NSC10! #sgachat
12:13 am imetjason: @sgachat the only thing anyone knows the U for - even in town - is our football team (Go Broncos!) #sgachat
12:15 am sgachat: Do any of your SGA's put together events themselves and then open them up to all students? Or is it largely other orgs? #sgachat
12:15 am donnyjenkins: @tomkrieglstein it helps give an organization, especially new ones, a scene of direction #sgachat
12:15 am ARL275: @sgachat ALL of our events are open to the whole student body #sgachat
12:16 am ARL275: @sgachat even community-geared events, the whole student body is invited to #sgachat
12:16 am sgachat: @ARL275 Let me clarify, is it largely SGA doing the planning, or SGA joining the event #sgachat
12:17 am MichaelSCashman: @sgachat The biggest exp. of a group lead service program is our CAC Relay for Life this year 1,000 student together raise over 47K #sgachat
12:17 am Kraboin: Well @umb_usg does very little planning for service initiatives, but a great deal of participation and funding #sgachat
12:17 am ARL275: @tomkrieglstein consider my shunned. i will now wallow in a corner, just me and my bird #sgachat
12:17 am sgachat: RT @MichaelSCashman: @sgachat The biggest exp. of a group lead service program is our CAC Relay for Life this year 1,000 student together raise over 47K #sgachat
12:17 am tomkrieglstein: @donnyjenkins How so? Aren't orgs worried enough about getting student's involved? Now they have to worry about community too? #SGAchat
12:18 am imetjason: #SGAchat we're split into 3 groups: SG (club funding), Programs Board (social events) & Volunteer Board (includes alt break trips)
12:18 am DanMcDs: Our Office of Student Leadership and Community Engagement does most of the admin stuff, but is all student driven/led #sgachat
12:18 am tomkrieglstein: @donnyjenkins Although if working with community expands their vision of who they are, and what they can do. That's good. #SGAchat
12:19 am Ian1225: @sgachat Our SGA has a couple of traditional service initiatives they host and then they'll support other clubs initiatives as well #sgachat
12:19 am sgachat: RT @ARL275: @sgachat SGA does a lot of initiating, but planning is a cohesive process. our clubs don't have big budgets, so they work together #sgachat
12:19 am imetjason: #sgachat all 3 are 100% student-run and -staffed. only SG is elected.
12:19 am MichaelSCashman: DanMcDs that is very similar to our college model. #sgachat
12:20 am tomkrieglstein: @MichaelSCashman 1000 students raised 47K! That's impressive. #SGAchat
12:20 am sgachat: RT @Ian1225: @sgachat Our SGA has a couple of traditional service initiatives they host and then they'll support other clubs initiatives as well #sgachat
12:20 am donnyjenkins: @tomkrieglstein student activism and retention are big parts of any org but students are a big part of the community #sgachat
12:21 am tomkrieglstein: Does anyone include faculty in the service projects? #SGAchat
12:21 am sgachat: Do any of your SGAs often work with outside non profits (local shelters, H4H, etc) for projects? #sgachat
12:21 am Ian1225: @MichaelSCashman Relay for Life was a big service event for our students this year. First time for that. #sgachat
12:21 am ARL275: @tomkrieglstein faculty get invites to participate in all kinds of ways. very few actually take us up on it, even the club advisors #sgachat
12:22 am tomkrieglstein: RT @sgachat: Do any of your SGAs often work with outside non profits (local shelters, H4H, etc) for projects? #SGAchat
12:22 am tomkrieglstein: @ARL275 Surprise. Surprise. #SGAchat
12:23 am DanMcDs: @ARL275 that's a bit depressing #sgachat
12:23 am donnyjenkins: RT @tomkrieglstein Although if working with community expands their vision of who they are, and what they can do. That's good. #sgachat

12:23 am Ian1225: @tomkrieglstein Our Alternative Spring Break program's faculty advisors have Avery active role in the planning of the trips. #sgachat
12:23 am imetjason: @sgachat our Volunteer Services Board works w/ outside organizations to arrange monthly service projects http://vsb.boisestate.edu #sgachat
12:24 am DanMcDs: RT @MichaelSCashman: @tomkrieglstein Very proud of them! Each year I challenge them to break goal. If they do I do a stupid stunt http://bit.ly/b2riLJ #sgachat
12:25 am MichaelSCashman: Sorry for all the double tweets - computer is acting up tonight... #sgachat
12:25 am Ian1225: @MichaelSCashman Awesome! #sgachat

12:26 am donnyjenkins: Question: Do any SGA or organization plan projects during summer semester? #sgachat
12:26 am tomkrieglstein: I think the whole chat just stopped to watch @MichaelSCashman's video. Awesome! #SGAchat
12:26 am sgachat: RT @donnyjenkins: Question: Do any SGA or organization plan projects during summer semester? #sgachat
12:27 am ARL275: @donnyjenkins we take our incoming officers to a leadership conference over the summer, but that's about it #sgachat
12:27 am tomkrieglstein: @Ian1225 Yeah Alternative Spring Breaks are picking up a lot of steam. Very popular around the country. #SGAchat
12:28 am MichaelSCashman: @tomkrieglstein HAha. So far I have shaved my head, been taped to a wall and then danced in uniform with the Cardinal Kickline :) #sgachat

12:30 am donnyjenkins: @imetjason @leadershape? What is this? #sgachat
12:30 am Ian1225: @tomkrieglstein Ours is very popular with the students. We now have 3 trip options. This is largely due to a talented staff person. #sgachat
12:31 am MichaelSCashman: @imetjason No but I would love to do @leadership at SUNY Plattsburgh -- who was the moving force on your campus? #sgachat
12:33 am donnyjenkins: @imetjason cool, cool, plz tell me all about it when your finished! #sgachat
12:33 am MichaelSCashman: @ARL275 We are thinking of becoming @ASGAonline members.Then doing those conf. We are hoping to go to Boston this year.U a member? #sgachat
12:33 am imetjason: @MichaelSCashman we got a new Student Involvement department director who had used it at his old school #sgachat
12:34 am DanMcDs: @ARL275 Glad it was of use. Was definitely a bonding experience for our Steering officers as well. #sgachat
12:34 am ARL275: @MichaelSCashman member of NACA, yes, ASGA, yes-ish. i still have a member account with them, but school hasn't paid dues past 2 yr #sgachat
12:35 am MichaelSCashman: @imetjason We had them on campus when I was SA Pres. SA never renewed due to $. Butch has me as an Ask an Expert Online Panel #sgachat
12:36 am sgachat: Do you find that these trainings impact service opportunities on campus? Are officers willing to do more after them? #sgachat
12:37 am ARL275: @sgachat trainings breed brainstorming sessions and BIG ideas, but not always big action #sgachat
12:37 am DanMcDs: @MichaelSCashman What is your expertise in, if you don't mind my asking? #sgachat
12:37 am MichaelSCashman: Our biggest service from the SA Officers are that they are 100% Volunteers themselves. No pay. #sgachat
12:37 am DanMcDs: @sgachat I know our officers come back energized and willing to take on more than we can chew sometimes, but it balances some #sgachat

12:38 am sgachat: RT @ARL275: @sgachat trainings breed brainstorming sessions and BIG ideas, but not always big action #sgachat

12:41 am DanMcDs: @tomkrieglstein Agreed. He personally did a training for us last August. Their social media needs some work though, lol #sgachat
12:41 am donnyjenkins: RT @ARL275: @sgachat trainings breed brainstorming sessions and BIG ideas, but not always big action #sgachat
12:42 am DanMcDs: @imetjason Do those trainings often have SGA specific info, or just general leadership training? #sgachat
12:42 am Kraboin: I was actually pleased to see some of the ideas out of our ASGA training bear fruit, like extended library hours and others. Weird #sgachat
12:42 am imetjason: @DanMcDs general leadership training. In the past, individual orgs have piggybacked their own specific trainings, eg Housing RAs #sgachat
12:42 am ARL275: we run multiple trainings over the year. pre-semester for stud leaders and SGA, during semester, focus on building leadership #sgachat

12:51 am tomkrieglstein: Ahh only 9 mins left! #SGAchat
12:51 am DanMcDs: @tomkrieglstein Many of our orgs have traditional partners, but its all based on the orgs & group to maintain that relationship #sgachat
12:52 am ARL275: county college = county connections, other orgs mostly come and go depending on needs #sgachat
12:53 am DanMcDs: @imetjason I'd say ethics/conduct, outreach strategies, delegation, teamwork, & working w/ admin may be good topics #sgachat
