Somehow, I'm still not entirely sure how, I became the adviser of a just-forming student organization. There's a whole process to become "recognized" as an official student organization. I know very little about that process on this campus. And it seems that the students know only slightly more than me. As an adviser...shouldn't I be... advising?
The fact that we'd like to become a chapter of a national organization both helps and complicates things a little, I think. On one hand, the national organization has a lot of templates and examples to use in getting established. On the other hand, it seems as though one or two of their steps conflicts slightly with our process. Oy.
Meanwhile, I've been trying to get a big, collaborative program organized and like most of the other programs I've run recently, things are more complicated than they need to be. BUT we're nearly set. I hope. And thank goodness I have a faculty member helping coordinate things...yet she's only been here a few months longer than me.
The blind leading the blind. Yup, that describes my life right now.
To say that I'm feeling overwhelmed at this moment in time is an understatement.

You'll get it going and then you can sit back and relax. Congrats on putting yourself in that position anyway. You are brave! Love ya.
Technically I really didn't put myself in the position, I was sort of volunteered when I sat in on a meeting I wasn't really scheduled to attend. Really the burden will be on the students to get things done, so I'm trying to keep telling myself that.
