The program areas of the office of student Involvement include: Fraternity and Sorority Life Student Leadership Student Activities Board SAC Operations Conference Services Recognized Student Organizations Community Service Engage Lead Serve Board Red Barn Programming Off Campus Student ServicesThrough these functional areas, the office seeks to engage students to add value to their experience at UofL in a variety of out of class activities. The office serves as a hub for student involvement on campus. By helping students to become engaged, students will be retained and graduate from the University.

We value innovative leadership that is not positional, but rather an ongoing transformational process. Effective leaders intrinsically challenge themselves and inspire others by exemplifying collaboration, respect for diversity, strengths focus, and team and community engagement.

We encourage an engaged student body that is civically and personally responsible for the welfare of others, by providing opportunities for volunteerism and holistic community service on campus and in the broader community

The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Louisville oversees 30 chapters of national and international fraternities and sororities. The office assists fraternity and sorority chapters in maintaining local and national requirements as well as serves as a liaison between collegiate chapters, alumni, parents, neighbors, and the University. In addition, the staff provides educational programs and services that support the ideals of Fraternity and Sorority Life by challenging members to live by their purposes, monitors academic performance of fraternity and sorority chapters and members, and recognizes positive achievements of the organizations.

D. Points of Pride (2011-12): Please list three to five ‘points of pride’ for your department from the past year. This can include initiatives, programs or recognitions.

Short Title Description

LEAD and TFF SGA agreed to work with us on incorporating their emerging leaders program (Task Force Freshmen) with Freshmen LEAD. The application process was joined with LEAD and all applicants were interviewed together. It was agreed that students would not get to do both but would be selected for only one. Two excellent student directors (Tra Taylor and Justin Remmell) worked with the

of 40

program and added consistency. SGA desires to continue this relationship and sees the value in our staff assisting with the curriculum to make the experience as meaningful as possible.

Culture of Recognition

The year began with a personal note to the department from President Ramsey regarding the Profiles in Leadership booklet and his request for copies for the BOT.The first ever Celebration of Student Leadership was held April 2, 2013 to great reviews. We incorporated Profiles in Leadership (recognition of exceptional students in our programs) and the Cardinal Partners program (recognizing community partners supporting UofL). Additionally the first ever Director’s Lincoln Award was presented and the Red Wagon awards were expanded.

OrgSync

As May 2013, our student numbers doubled with 6,386 students signing on and our Organizations tripled with 338 registered portals in the system. We used it for the first time for Student Awards submissions. Additionally, taking advantage of the event posting, news feed and banners in one case contributed to bumping sales for an event by 50 tickets in one afternoon. We have also added student employment applications and job-related paperwork so it is always available and stored in one place.

Engage Lead Serve Board

1. Office space and usage increased student presence2. Make A Difference days and nights were well attended3. Funding was effectively managed and utilized4. What Do You Want To Do Before You Die featuring the cast of

MTV’s The Buried Life was well attended and an outstanding first event for ELSB

(innovative marketing included writing on SAC windows, chalk board in SAC and Library and posting around 2nd floor SAC entrance students’ notes of what they wanted to do before they died

RSOs and HSC

36 new student organizations were created this year, 13 of which came from HSC.Over the course of two years, Julie’s presence on the HSC two days a week has made great strides in the vibrancy of those campus student organizations. The year ended with the first ever School of Med’s Field Day event which was very well attended. Professional organizations are reaching out to the undergrads in their field on Belknap to welcome them and prepare them for when they get into their professional programs. Office usage has increased and Julie has worked with SGA to rethink how the space is being used (currently just for Big 4) to provide resources for all the student organizations on the campus. RSOs on HSC have increased by seven.

Welcome Week SOUL #s Though we didn’t have any control over 800+ students showing up for SOUL, we did do an excellent job of creating a highly effective registration process that allowed the program to flow really well this year. We were able to accommodate 500 students this year which is an increase from the approximately 400 who participated

of 40

in 2011.

Outstanding Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment Week

Increase in overall membership in our fraternities and sororities

We now have 11.1% of the fulltime undergraduates at the University involved with fraternities and sororities. We have just over 1700 students total that are affiliated. This is up from 1625 in S’12 and is up significantly from ten years ago—1022 in S’03.

Impressive honors attained by our campus Greek organizations and fraternities and sorority members

One fourth of all the 2012-13 Fulbright Scholars were affiliated with our campus Greek organizations. The most recent Truman Scholar is an Alpha Phi Alpha.

Alternative Service Break NOLA

The collaborations for this trip included working with National Relief Network, a company that coordinates disaster relief work for groups. Additionally, we invited Western KY University to join our trip which helped us get the minimum numbers we needed and added an additional layer of meaning to the trip. Finally, we worked with some CSP majors who attended the trip to help us break the group into smaller groups as well as lead reflections. Finally, the Pre-Service trip that was done in February in Henryville with March2Recovery was a great way to prep the group heading to NOLA for what they would be experiencing.

MLK Day of Service

The department experimented with doing things a little differently with MLK Day which sprung from collaborating with Network Center for Community Change and Councilwoman Attica Scott’s office. We focused our work on one area of the city (Parkland Neighborhood) and held the event at Maupin Elementary School. We had about 125 in attendance including two faculty.

Cardinal Partners

The Cardinal Partners program has grown out of a desire to develop stronger relationships with those agencies that are giving significant time to our students.

F. Continuous Improvement: Please list areas which have been cited (either through formal or informal assessment and evaluation) as requiring additional attention.

A1. Cite a SINGLE area, program, service or function that was identified through a formal assessment (i.e.: focus group, survey, tracking, etc.) as needing improvement or warranting additional attention.

Freshmen LEAD has been in existence for twelve years, and for the last six years has had four student learning outcomes to guide the program’s curriculum. Lauren Doerner, the GA for Student Leadership, conducted an evaluation of the program’s student learning outcomes to determine whether program leaders were meeting the set outcomes and meeting outcomes that were not otherwise explicitly stated.

A2. Which assessment mechanism(s) (i.e.: focus group, survey, tracking, etc.) assisted your department in identifying the need for improvement?

Lauren performed a series of six focus groups with former LEAD participants from the years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012. The findings suggested that program leaders needed to make adjustments to the student learning outcomes. While they were being met, they needed revising, and others still needed to be established in order to match the learning that was happening for the students in the program.

A3. Specifically, what did the assessment’s findings reflect that resulted in enhancements to this area, program, service or function?

The Freshmen LEAD team has made changes to the learning outcomes to fit the results that Lauren synthesized from the focus groups. Changes are boldface.

Before Focus Group Outcomes –Participant will be able to: Clearly define their leadership philosophy and style Identify relevance in guest speakers key points to personal

Build relationships with and network with peers and community leaders

B1. Cite a SINGLE area, program, service or function that was identified through a formal assessment (i.e.: focus group, survey, tracking, etc.) as needing improvement or warranting additional attention.

Electronic Rosters- Created digital roster templates to streamline the submission and maintenance of fraternity and sorority rosters. All rosters are now updated and submitted electronically and saved on the Student Involvement database.

B2. Which assessment mechanism(s) (i.e.: focus group, survey, tracking, etc.) assisted your department in identifying the need for improvement?

Focus groups of fraternity and sorority chapter presidents, discussions with alumni and graduate advisors, recommendations from fraternity and sorority national leadership consultants, and talking to peer and benchmark institutions.

B3. Specifically, what did the assessment’s findings reflect that resulted in enhancements to this area, program, service or function?

With the growth of our Greek community, we needed a more consistent way of obtaining membership data. With the increase in our staff, we also needed a centralized place to store this data to share among ourselves.

B4. What has your department done/plan to do to address this area, program, service or function? Please be as specific as possible.

We hosted three group workshops and a number of one- on- one workshops to teach each of the 30 chapter representative how to use the template and submit the initial rosters and how to maintain them throughout the semester..We then created workbooks on line so we could show a progression of rosters from semester to semester and year to year.

C1. Cite a SINGLE area, program, service or function that was identified through a formal assessment (i.e.: focus group, survey, tracking, etc.) as needing improvement or warranting additional attention.

Through multiple surveys and focus groups conducted by our own office and the Student Government Association over several years, the need for a large concert featuring an artist with a significant profile has been documented for several years. In February 2010, SGA President OJ Oleka made the concert initiative a component of the Student 2020 plan. But, the shortage of financial resources continued to hinder the initiative. In 2011, staff advisors prepared a report to the Student Senate, outlining an action plan for the concert initiative and identifying the lack of financing as a principal impediment.

C2. Which assessment mechanism(s) (i.e.: focus group, survey, tracking, etc.) assisted your department in identifying

Standard on its event surveys, SAB asks a needs assessment question to identify the students’ desired programs. Consistently, the student request for a large concert was chief among the

of 40

the need for improvement? identified needs. This result was mirrored in the Zoomerang survey conducted in 2005 and was consistently expressed by SGA’s constituents to the elected representatives of the SGA. The resources were still not available without putting large numbers of other programs at risk.

C3. Specifically, what did the assessment’s findings reflect that resulted in enhancements to this area, program, service or function?

Students felt that a University of the size and quality of the UofL should feature major concert acts. Through a variety of means, other state universities were providing concerts to their students. Frequently mentioned among the students was pride in the University. They felt that the concert was directly related to the profile of the University. Using the advisor’s report and related benchmark information, student leaders presented their case for increased student government funding to the Committee on Tuition and Fees, successfully arguing for increased funding with a significant portion of the increase earmarked for a concert.

C4. What has your department done/plan to do to address this area, program, service or function? Please be as specific as possible.

With the funding in place, department staff worked with the SAB Programs Director and the SGA President to set up a joint task force to research, develop, implement, and promote the concert. SAB’s staff advisor arranged for the services of Production Simple to assist in the production and promotion of the show, and followed up with appropriate University departments to ensure that a plan for the execution of the show was put in place. Meeting regularly with the student task force, staff guided and directed the work of the committee to successfully execute the show.
