Student Organization Toolbox
All the tools your School of Management student organization needs to be a success!
Forms
Three times a semester your student organization should submit a Student Organization Report. The fall 2012 due dates are October 1, November 1, and December 1.
Need a flyer or event program put together? Submit a Project Request Form to SOM Marketing Specialist Rebecca Hurbi and, depending on her schedule, she'll put one together for you.
Fundraising
Everything you ever wanted to know (and some things you didn't) about raising money through your student organization:
- Fundraising Opportunities - where to get the dough
- Fundraising Guidelines - short and sweet
- UAF Fundraising Policy - detailed info
UAF Graphic Standards
Want to create a flyer, poster, or some other advertisement for your student organization? This info is for you.
UAF now has a comprehensive brand book. Check it out for powerpoint, brochure, and flyer templates, as well as official fonts, colors, and more! You can also find a lot of information at the UAF Branding webpage.
Social Media
Facebook and Twitter and Youtube, oh my!
Many people use social media to interact nowadays, with over 750 million active users (as of September 2011) on Facebook alone. UAF and SOM are active on both Facebook and Twitter and student organizations are starting to join in on the fun. Keep in mind that your social media sites should be just as professional as your website. Social media is generally more informal, but don't post anything you wouldn't want your mother - or SOM Dean Herrmann - to read.
A quick tip for Facebook:
- Create a group if it's just for members of your student organization
- Create a page if it's for everyone
- Make sure more than one person, preferably your faculty advisor, is an admin

Websites
Websites are a great way to distribute information to current and potential members. The standard for UAF student organizations is to create a website through Google sites using your alaska.edu account.
Websites need to be regularly updated. If your website hasn't been updated in over a year and has spelling and punctuation errors, your student organization is not going to make a good impression. SOM reserves the right to remove links to your website from our site if a student organization site is not being well-maintained.
