• If a group still wishes to honor students with small gifts, the gifts must be paid for with non-FranceMerrick funds (for example, through a collection of donations from other group members or from the group’s dues) Co-Sponsored Events • • The CSC encourages groups to collaborate on planning events and other activities that may be of interest to a larger audience The CSC is not able to transfer funding to groups that are not sponsored by the CSC. Groups planning an event in collaboration with a non-CSC group (such as a fraternity or sorority) should divide the expenses during the planning process. For example, if a CSC group decides to co-sponsor an event with a Fraternity, each group should pay for half of the expenses as they arise, rather than, for example, having the Fraternity pay for everything and then asking the CSC group to transfer over a given amount of money later, as this is not possible given the way the University accounts are structured. Student Members • • Membership in Center for Social Concern-sponsored groups must be open to all Hopkins students, though groups may determine their own membership requirements based on attendance, involvement, and similar provisions. Recent Hopkins graduates may participate in groups for one semester after graduation, but may not hold an officer position. RISK MANAGEMENT The Center for Social Concern has created many policies that help provide framework and structure for the volunteers who participate in our programs, including student groups. Below are some policies, online trainings, and forms that we require. As our office and programs continue to grow, we continuously modify and expand our policies to meet our needs while keeping in mind the safety of our students, our community partners, as well as the university. Below is a list of these policies. To learn more information about the Center for Social Concern’s policies, please visit the CSC website.
