Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

Mark your calendars for weeks 6 & 7 - a chance to get your Harm Reduction Requirement met!  All workshops being offered will count toward the RSO Harm Reduction Requirement (25% of an RSOs active members must complete a workshop) and the members of your RSO can pick which workshop they wish to attend (not all members need to attend the same workshop). 

INCENTIVE: Not only will there be snacks at each workshop, every RSO whose members attend a workshop will be entered into a drawing to have stickers designed and purchased for the selected RSO!

Move to Momentus

As of earlier this week, the soft-launch of DU’s one-stop event booking portal, hosted through Momentus, went live. This exciting technology is the first step in creating a campus-wide view of events that will eventually feed into DU’s Common Calendar.  

DU Students, Faculty, and Staff can now use their My4D login on the Event Management Portal to submit an Internal Reservation, browse venues, and access the Event Planning Guide. Momentus offers DU students, faculty, and staff a one-stop location to find and reserve event spaces across campus, and to book additional event needs like facilities requests and A/V requests all in one place. 

Pre-Recorded Demo:
A pre-recorded demonstration can be found here if you'd like to familiarize yourself with Momentus. 

For any questions or concerns, please contact Momentus@du.edu.    

*Please note, we've already made the Momentus team aware of some small issues in the system, like glitches related to requesting tabling spaces, and we appreciate your patience as we work out the unforseen speed bumps that come with rolling out a new system across campus.

Remember to Post Upcoming Events & Meetings in CrimsonConnect

REMEMBER, it is an expectation from our office that RSOs register their events in CrimsonConnect (at least 3 days in advance of the event, longer if the event is more complicated).

Registering your events in CrimsonConnect allows the Student Engagement Team to support your event planning if needed, and also is a great way to advertise upcoming events to your peers!

If your event is "pending in draft" - here's how to fix it. 
The person who started the event form should:

  • Log into CrimsonConnect
  • Find "My Surveys & Forms" near the bottom of the left-hand menu bar of the CrimsonConnect Home Page
  • Search for a form called "RSO and FSL Event Registration" - you'll see the name of the event listed as well as a gray "DRAFT" sticker
  • Use the pencil icon to pick up where you left off - often times it is between the event information and the additional questions that the Student Engagement team requires. 
  • Finish the form by answering all required questions - you should see a purple "Submit" button when you get to the end. 
  • Click "Submit"

FINAL Start of Quarter Reminder:
Storage CleanUp

If your RSO has items stored in the Community Commons Basement Storage Locker, this is a notice to please go down and ensure all of your items are neatly stored in your assigned bin.

Please do this before the end of this week (Friday, January 24th).
Loose materials and items will be thrown away as will any visible food or drink items!! 

ALL items must be securely stored in bins or removed from the locker. 

While at least one person on your executive team should know the code and bin numbers for your organization, if your exec team is unsure of the code or which bins are yours, please reach out to the Student Engagement team.
