What information to give new graduates in their folders or via email around graduation is somewhat a matter of discretion. You should give them some sort of club welcome and information on rounds. It's a good idea to email these as well as give them the papers in the graduation folders.
...
Another thing that should
...
- Rounds
- How being a club member works (gate, voting membership, getting partners, angeling etc)
- Weekly jobs
- How the club operates (EC, appointed officers, etc)
- Advice on how to get better at squares
Other ideas
...
either go in packets or get talked about beforehand is how to transition to the club - club has all levels of dancers, you need to find your own partners, asking for help, practice, etc.
Current grad docs
As of Fall 2015, we have a new comprehensive set of graduation docs. You can see the Fall 2015 edition here. The individual pdfs of each section and the source files are in the locker (/mit/tech-squares/doc/grad/; web accessible at http://web.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/tech-squares/doc/grad/grad-all.pdf and sibling URLs). They also live in GitLab: source at https://gitlab.com/tech-squares/locker/doc/-/tree/master/grad, latest builds at https://gitlab.com/tech-squares/locker/doc/-/jobs/artifacts/master/browse/artifacts/grad?job=build. You should at least glance over them. Two sections will need updating: the rounds coordinator list (also make sure tech-squares-rounds-coordinator@mit.edu is up to date) and EC members (in howtsworks). Check whatever changes you make in with Git (ask another officer for help if needed) – you can use the command line, or the GitLab "web IDE" or "edit" functionality (which may be easier, especially if you don't know git).
These docs include:
- a welcome to the club & explanation of email lists
- information on getting better, squaring up, and mention of shenanigans and 'what next' options
- information on rounds (an update of the past rounds document)
- explanation of gate, dance fees, list of EC officers, mention of club jobs, voting, and getting involved
- brief history of TS (summarized from various other docs), list of other local clubs/conventions, list of online resources
Past grad docs
In the past, we gave a handout on the club, and a handout on rounds. At some points we also gave (detailed) handouts on dance/club history. Some of these are attached.
