Leadership Resources for UM Student Orgs
How Tos
The How To section's purpose is (as the name suggests) to explain how to plan certain events for your student org. Once a timeline exists, student leaders would ideally know what to do, but might not necessarily know how to approach those tasks (especially events that might feel like a huge logistical burden at first). Because of this, How To documents or videos might be helpful to lower the burden of planning these bigger processes!
​
*Tip*
How To Videos can be helpful for explaining larger logistical events to alleviate the pressure from future leadership teams. Videos help show dynamic aspects and also provide a more personal feel with the accompanying audio.

Here's a template for structuring a How To document that you might write for events specific to your own student org.
This is one of the How To documents I created to help my student org plan our new student dinner event. It contains different sections explaining the event's purpose and the steps to take to plan it.
