INTERNAL: Improve orientation

Establish a comprehensive, consistent, engaging & efficient orientation (canned & ready to go) that includes, but is not limited to the following:

• AS staff and returning students engaged as trainers in some capacity
• Concentrated in the fall, but repeated as needed throughout the year as new students come into AS
• Checklists/templates for transition from those who previously held position
• Additional sections for specific interests (w/guidance for who shd attend what)
• Guidelines for what to cover in BCC retreats
• Contact lists, org/decision chart, FAQs for finance, legal code, etc., templates for specific positions, event planning, meetings, record-keeping, publicity, etc.,

Mandatory modules for all elected leaders, their critical staff, BCC chairs and co-chairs (at a minimum); other mandated modules depending on position.

Use videos: AS 101 video series, for those who cannot make it, for those who join later, for aspects that need to be more in-depth (procedures, etc.)
