• Transition Planning Announcements about upcoming workshops will be sent through the CSC group management newsletter. A complete schedule is also available on the CSC website. If you are interested in having a group management intern come to your general body or executive board meeting to do a workshop, please email jhu.csc.groupmanagement@gmail.com. The CSC offers special grant programs to encourage student groups to host educational and leadership development workshops for their members. Please refer to the grant section in this handbook. If you’d like to share a tip or technique that has worked well for your group or would like to volunteer to present a workshop, please contact the interns at jhu.csc.groupmanagement@gmail.com to learn more. Read the Group Management Newsletter! This newsletter goes out at least once a month to the leaders of CSC student groups. It contains important deadlines and links to resources that you should be aware of. As a student group leader, you are responsible for reading and understanding the contents of this newsletter. Office Hours Group leaders should check in with the Center for Social Concern once a month. During your fall advisor meeting, your advisor will make recommendations for the best way to get in touch. Each group has an assigned Group Management Intern who will be able to offer support and advice at any time throughout the year. The Group Management Interns hold drop-in office hours throughout the week—this is a great time to pop into the CSC to ask a quick question or get advice. See the newsletter or the CSC website for information about exact times. TRANSITION PLANNING You’ve spent four years working hard to build and strengthen your CSC student group. You’ve developed a great relationship with a community partner and have a strong base of JHU student volunteers. Now that you’re graduating, how do you ensure that the group continues long after you’re gone? The answer: by spending lots of time transition planning. Start preparing no later than the beginning of the semester you’ll be graduating. This is the time to hold elections for new leadership and to prepare a Transition Binder. 25 | P a g e
