Rules

1. All cohorts are participating in the Volunteer Challenge.

2. All volunteering activities performed from Monday, April 10, 2023 at 12am to Sunday, April 23, 2023 at 3pm, and their hours logged into HoyaConnect by 3pm on Sunday, April 23, 2023 will be counted.

3. To level the playing field for Flex cohorts, they will be given a handicap multiplier of 2.5X for the total number of hours they accumulate. To be clear: each hour a Flex student accumulates will be counted as two-and-a-half for the purposes of the event, but will remain as one hour towards their total volunteering hours for awards such as the MBA Community Fellows.

How to Log Your Volunteer Hours

1. Visit the My Service Hours section of HoyaConnect.

2. Tap the Add Service Hours button on the top-right.

3. You would see the following pop-up.

4. If your volunteer event is on HoyaConnect, select Event. Choose the event you attended, and enter the hours you accumulated and the date. If you attended an event but you had not registered on HoyaConnect, ask the event organizer to add your name in the attendee list. Note that sometimes the event host may have already logged your hours on your behalf.

Note: If you had signed up for an external volunteering opportunity that was listed on HoyaConnect, please submit proof of your registration / participation.

5. If your volunteer event is not on HoyaConnect, select Experience. Select the club you volunteered with, or type in the organization name if it is a third-party. Enter the hours and date. Attach a proof of your attendance if any. Include a reference user (someone in Georgetown) or an external reference who can verify your participation.

MBA Community Fellows and Advocates

MBA students who accumulate more than 100 hours of community service by April 30 of their final year will be recognized as Community Fellows at graduation, and 75-100 hours will be recognized as Community Advocates. For more information, review this slide deck.

Rules

1. Flex cohorts that participate in Bare Necessities will be given a handicap of 200❤️. This handicap will be applied after the Martha's Table event concludes.

2. The Organizers reserve the right to determine which donated clothing constitute "professional" or "for office work".

3. Clothing that are not accepted for the donation to A Wider Circle will be placed in a box for anyone to collect at Connelly Commons. Any remaining clothing will be disposed of after Sunday, April 30, 2023.

4. Sandwich-making for Martha's Table is limited to 70 participants, and each cohort may only send a maximum of 20 participants. The Organizers reserve the right to change these limits.

5. Payments and donations for Sandwich-making for Martha's Table is not refundable. If you sign-up after your cohort exceeds 20 participants or the limit at that time, the Organizers will inform you of the fact and request that you find a replacement from another cohort while your spot will be made free for someone else to register. However, if the Organizers increases the limits and you have not found a replacement, you will be reinstated in the competition.

6. If you need to swap your registration to Sandwich-making for Martha's Table with someone else, contact the Organizers to facilitate the exchange. Note that if the other person's cohort has already reached a maximum of 20 participants or the limit at the time of your request, the Organizers will not be able to swap your registration with that person.

7. The one (1) volunteer hour for participants in the Sandwich-making for Martha's Table is contingent in your participation from the start to the end of the event. The Organizers reserve the right to record a part of or no volunteer hours if you leave early.

Blood is essential for life. It carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, fights infections, and helps heal wounds. One donation can save up to three lives. If you are a healthy individual, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give: the gift of life — at almost no cost to you.

The American Red Cross will be at Connelly Commons on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, from 10am to 3pm.
