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 If your group's membership and officer assignments are out-of-date in OrgCentral, they will not receive this communication.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 & 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
Registered student organizations may reserve the SPI Conference room, located in 114 K-State Student Union, for meetings and events. Contact studentinvolvement@k-state.edu for more information.
The K-State Student Union
Registered student organizations may reserve rooms and schedule tabling inside the K-State Student Union for free or reduced rates. Contact the K-State Student Union Director's Office.
Campus Facilities
Registered 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.
While we encourage RSOs to have mail sent to their sponsoring department's address, all registered student organizations (ASOs & SSOs) may utilize Student Programs and Involvement 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.
