Weekly Update October 14, 2013

Hi guys!
It's WEEKLY UPDATE time!

You all need to join and navigate the Orgsync website that is up and running!!!!!
I have provided some instructions below on how to use Orgsync.
The Honors Program would like to start using Orgsync as a way to log your involvement with UHP.

Go to this website and login using your 49er ID and password.

Search for the University Honors Program Student Association and request to join if you have not already done so. 

We would like for everyone to upload a picture of themselves to the Orgsync website. 
On the top green toolbar of Orgsync, there is a wheel-spoke-like thing on the very far right. Click on that and on the drop down menu click on "Manage Account."

Once you are on the Manage Account page, on the right side is a place for a photo. Click on "upload picture." Choose a picture that shows your face well please. 

Once you have uploaded a picture, go back to the University Honors Program Student Association page. On the left hand side, there is a list of categories. If you hover over events, a drop down menu will appear with the options "events list" and "timesheets." Click on timesheets. 

Find your name on the list. To the right of your name (all the way over) there will be a button with "details" typed on it. Click it. 

The new page that shows is how you can log your activity within the Honors Program. 
Please be sure to include a reference name. A reference name is someone that can vouch that you were in fact at that event. Officers are usually the person of reference, but could potentially be a member if they were in charge of a particular event (more often than not it should be an officer or professional staff). The reference person will be sent an email to confirm what you have said you have done. (IMPORTANT: upload a picture of yourself in case people forget names.)

So be sure to include participation that you have done thus far.
(i.e. Freshman Venture, Venture WOW, Welcome Back Picnic, Food Truck Friday, Habitat Build, 2nd General Meeting, Discussion Night, Relay Committee Meetings and any other enrichments/events you have attended) (Food Truck Friday and Venture WOW count as an enrichment.)


Orgsync is still a work in process for us all, so please bare with us. If you have questions about it or anything else PLEASE feel free to ask any one of us officers. 

We have updated the calendar on Orgsync with upcoming events within the University Honors Program. So take a look and get an idea of what you would like to participate in. We will add events as they come. 

The first person to tell me the title of the first post under the communication>news section will be the prize winner this week!!!
