Managing your organization
The Basics
Successfully manage your student organization with resources and services provided by SPI.
The SPI Update is a weekly newsletter providing official communication from K-State and SPI to student organization leadership, including announcements, updates, events, resources and other important information.
The SPI Update is sent out on a weekly basis to all student organization officers. Officers should read the SPI Update each week and pass along relevant information to the rest of their organization as needed.
Please note: Newsletter recipients are pulled directly from organization groups in OrgCentral. If your group's membership and officer assignments are out-of-date in OrgCentral, they will not receive this communication.
Every registered student organization has a website or portal, created for them in K-State's organization management platform, OrgCentral. Log in with your K-State eID and password to manage your roster, organization description, events, files, forms and more!
Services provided by SPI
Recruit new members to your organization by hosting a booth at Activities Carnival, hosted by SPI during the first week of class in the fall and spring semesters. Space is limited; sign up early in OrgCentral!
The SPI Conference Room
Recognized student organizations may reserve the SPI Conference room, located in Union 114 , for meetings and events. Contact studentinvolvement@k-state.edu for more information.
The K-State Student Union
Recognized student organizations may reserve rooms and schedule tabling inside the Union for free or reduced rates. Contact the K-State Student Union Director's Office.
Campus Facilities
Recognized student organizations may reserve buildings and grounds spaces with approval by the managing unit. Contact Room Scheduling in the Division of Facilities.
Registered student organizations can store materials in lockers located in the K-State Student Union. Contact SPI Program Coordinators, Daira Navarette, at dairan@k-state.edu or Grace Ann Thompson, at graceann@k-state.edu, to learn more.
Student organizations are encouraged to have mail sent to the sponsoring department's address; however, all recognized student organizations may utilize SPI as their permanent mailing address. This is a great way to keep mail from getting sent to an old apartment address!
Use your organization's name when having mail sent to SPI (see example below). Contact studentinvolvement@k-state.edu to learn more.
