Hi, everyone!
We hope you had a great summer break! We're gearing up for the semester to start, and we hope you're as excited as we are. We've been hard at work improving what we have to offer to your group, and there are some exciting new changes we'd like to point out. We've brought on an assistant campus organizer to help us meet your needs, streamlined several areas of our website and our webforms, and expanded many of our services and resources. Read on for details!
Meet the Campus Organizing Team
The SSA 's campus organizing staff is growing. We're the folks you'll work with when you use our services and resources, get help for your group, renew your affiliation and more.
Lyz Liddell, Director of Campus Organizing
I'm the director of our campus organizing team here at the SSA. I'll be reaching out to you every week with these emails, so you'll probably become pretty familiar with my name. I'll also be organizing speaker tours, working with grant applications, and offering one-on-one group-running assistance whenever you need it. I'm always happy to help when you're having problems, and I love to hear about your successes! I'm easiest to reach by email (Lyz@secularstudents.org) but you can also call the office at 614-441-9588 if your concern is urgent. I'm looking forward to an exciting year!
Nate Mauger, Campus Organizing Assistant
My name is Nate, and I'm the new SSA Campus Organizing Assistant! It is my job at the SSA to make sure your group stays connected with our vast array of services and resources. Contact me if your group is interested in getting business cards, tabling supplies, banners, or other various group running resources. I can also help connect groups with speakers from our speakers bureau and the funding to bring them to your campus! Be excited, because I'm about to be your new best friend!
Nick Stancato, Fall 2010 Intern
I'm the fall intern at the Secular Student Alliance. I help Lyz and Nate in various projects related to your student groups, such as sending out tabling supplies. I'll also be helping with the Affiliation Renewal. You may hear from me via email, as I love interacting and working with all of you. Feel free to contact me at nick.stancato@secularstudents.org. Good luck and have a great year!
