IDSAB - The Value of Getting Involved

As a member of the "Team Team", I second David's post below that you should attend the Team Lecturette. This runs from noon until 2pm on the Wednesday of Registration.

Additionally, as Chairman of the Institute of Design Student Activities Board (IDSAB), I will be giving a presentation at 11:30am with a couple of other board members regarding what our groups do and why you should be involved. I'm not going to lie and say that you are going to have a lot of free time. Frankly, ID is a place that "eats free time for lunch". That said, volunteer participation in IDSAB enriches the both individual contributors and the ID community as a whole and, I would argue, is as relevant as your coursework. A few things to be discussed at this presentation and Q&A include:

• why IDSAB exists
• what is the total budget for activities
• how this budget is allocated
• a bit about each group and their specific activities: engageID, recruitID, socialID, insideID

I have hope you can make it because it really makes a big difference if we can get you on board early.

Totally agree with Zach.
ID gives you a lot of work, but being involved in IDSAB activities is also very rewarding and satisfying.

Last year I didn't get involved until spring term and I must say I regret not having it done before. The fact that you are doing things that are not related with actual courses helps you to interact with other students with way less tension (you still don't know how high voltage some teams can be) and helps you have a mental break.

Be sure to attend to this presentation. There are many different IDSAB groups and for sure you can find the one that fits what you want to do.
