9.5.2007: More Alumni Programs

ECAASU is proud to announce the birth of our Alumni Programs. All alums (old board members, old conference delegates, speakers, workshop leaders, basically anybody affiliated with ECAASU who is not in college) are welcome to participate. So what's cookin'?

Alumni Directory and Alumni Discussion Group: we want to provide a forum where alumni can discuss things that matter to them. Network amongst each other with the directory and help ECAASU stay in touch with our alums.
Alumni Mentorship Program: With this program, we aim to create conversations and relationships between our alums and our students. We aim to connect alumni and students with the same personal or professional interest. Students are welcome to ask questions, which will then get forwarded to relevant alums. To sign up, simply fill out the Alumni Directory form and check "yes" when asked to join this program.
ECAASU Externship Program: Sorry, nothing to click just yet. We are working to provide 5 Spring Break externships this year. Externships are short internships that allows a student to shadow an alum, learning what life after college is like.

8.30.2007: More Everything

School is back in session. Our lovely webmaster is working on the website like mad. What's new? Affiliate Schools Program, the National Section, Contact Us, and much much more. Dig around. E-mail all suggestions to our webmaster.

Affiliate Schools Program, what is that? Every year, many many schools attend the ECAASU conference. However, in the end, the schools all go their separate ways and best practices are left unshared, collaboration potential left unrealized. With the Affiliate Schools Program, we strive to document each school, their APA community's challenges and strengths, and share this information with all of you at our next conference. Think of it as a "APA Facebook... for your colleges." Join our network now! Please direct all questions or suggestions to the national chair.

Also, our enthusiastic internal chair has been ironing out ECAASU mixers for NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Atlanta. The dates are tentatively set as follows:
-- Sep. 29: New York City
-- Oct. 6: Philadelphia
-- Oct. 13: Boston (at the BASIC conference)
-- Oct.13: Washington DC
-- Oct. 20: Atlanta
If you or somebody you know would like to represent your school at one of these mixers, please have them RSVP. Do this soon, since space tends to fill up quick for these things.

Our talented advocacy chair is working on organizing a Voter Awareness Drive. With the upcoming 2008 presidential election nearing, it is now more important than ever that we become informed and participate in deciding the nation's future. If there are any campaigns your school would like our support, please contact our advocacy chair.

Yeah, this year is gonna rock.
