TL;DR: Things You Should Know But Weren’t Told

Student Leadership Workshops

Were the mandatory trainings TMI? RSVP to this workshop ASAP. Running a student org doesn’t come with a manual, but we’ve got you covered.

Join OSE for a hands-on session that breaks down what no one ever explained: how to plan impactful events, manage your finances responsibly, and build a structure that helps your org thrive long after its founders graduate.

Each org should send at least one representative ready to bring insights back to their team. You’ll leave with a practical resource toolkit to support your leadership going forward.

Bonus: Orgs that complete this training will receive priority consideration for the Stanford Fund Partnership Program and corporate fundraising applications in Spring.
