Why Your Student Organization Fails to Move Forward
For some university students, the summer months mean handing off the organizations they've been a part of to the new incoming executive team. This year, I had the pleasure of doing so, with a twist . As someone who's been involved with student clubs and organizations since their undergraduate days, I recognized that the summer plays an increasing importantly role in strategic planning. It's about the only time in the year where student leaders can spend some time thinking about long-term goals. In my experience, the transitions aim to prepare incoming execs of how to repeat a successful year or how to make events better, rather than consider how to adapt to changes the organization can expect in the future, which may include cancelling previous events. A month ago, I wanted to change that as I handed off my Process and Quality Improvement role at the IMAGINE Clinic . The IMAGINE team is a relatively large one compared to most other undergraduate student organizations.
