  • How to Contact Officers

  • How to contact officers

  • Please be mindful when communicating with officers. The majority of us have heavy course loads, work one or multiple jobs, and are not available 24/7. While we are available for questions, it is important to make sure that you have searched for the answer to your question before asking. We work hard to send out detailed information so please make sure you utilize those resources first. 

  • Also, please please communicate/reach out to officers via their Blossoms’ email. Unless specifically stated otherwise Often people will reach out via band, Instagram DM’s, Phone #’s, Personal school emails, and other platforms, and in some cases this is perfectly acceptable as some officers may prefer this, but if not stated please use the blossom emails... especially if it is an important question or something that you don’t want to get missed. - Emails can be found on the website or in the newsletter

  • Conflict Forms-

  • Conflict Forms - Need to be sent to the officer hosting the event in which the conflict form is necessary. - “Valid excused absences include exams, medical emergencies, and family emergencies. Each general member and director will also receive 3 “passes” to use as an excused absence in the event they need to attend an SI or any other group studying session (this includes events and meetings). To use a pass, each member must provide adequate proof of the organized studying session. To use a “pass”, each member must get the absence approved by the president. Studying is otherwise not an excused absence and all directors and general members are expected to plan study time around events and meetings.” Other valid excuses are up to the discretion of the officer. We do try to be reasonable, but we also hope for participation in our amazing org!

  • Meetings- 

  • The General Member Meeting occurs every other Monday @7pm on campus. If you are unable to attend a meeting you must present a valid excuse stated in the conflict form with proper documentation. Conflict forms for the meeting must be sent to aggieblossomsvp@gmail.com by 5 pm on the day of the meeting. Failure to do so will result in a demerit. Additionally, after the meeting, Meeting minutes will be sent out/posted on the website with a form to be filled out over the missed meeting by the following Friday at 5 pm. If this form is not submitted by this deadline a demerit will be issued regardless of an accepted conflict form.
