Frequently Asked Questions!

• When and where is the weekly meeting?

We meet Monday at 7:45pm in 160 Willard,  unless notified otherwise. If you join you will be added to a GroupMe for any last minute announcements!

• Can I be part of DASH and a THON committee?

Yes. We accept any member interested to aid THON’s cause. However, if you do join DASH, we do expect you to be an active member, meaning attending two or more events in a monthly period.

• What are the dues for?

There are no dues, however DASH is a special interest organization geared solely towards THON, so we need money to help us during fundraising efforts, recruitment campaigns, and other events in the name of our organization. Informally known as a “slush fund” throughout THON, this money helps secure upfront costs to help the organization grow and help accrue money for THON.

• Why come to meetings?

First a reason to come to meetings is for reliability when fundraising. We advocate safe and responsible fundraising methods, and as such, it is integral to attend meetings to hear first hand details regarding fundraising efforts. All members will be held to certain standards when fundraising, and as a result, members need to hear first hand the details of different fundraising efforts or events. Second, they are fun and an important way to get to know fellow members! We are a small organization and pride ourselves on knowing each of our members names. When you attend meetings and events, you will get to know other members. It will make it that much more of an experience come THON Weekend celebrating our entire year with those you have gotten to build relationships with throughout the year.

• What are the time commitments that come with being involved in DASH?

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for a variety of students with different backgrounds and time commitments the opportunity to be involved in THON as much as they would like We simply ask a attendance of two events in a calendar month whether its a fundraiser, meeting, or bonding event.
You really can put in as much as you want into this organization (i.e. taking on leadership roles, helping plan events, etc) or the minimum asked.
