INTERNAL
IMPROVEMENTS
Dream Careers:
CONTINOUSLY STRIVING
ALWAYS IMPROVING
By: ECSC EXECUTIVE
BOARD
Each new member presents their
“Dream Career”. This gives
younger members the opportunity
to begin to learn presentation
skills and to start thinking about
their future career goals. Older
students in council with similar
goals can offer insight and share
relatable experiences to
individual members.
Each returning member
presents on a topic of their
choice. We have had
presentations on
Entrepreneurship, Foreign
Business Customs,
Visualization, Sales,
Professional Admissions, and
even Grad School. This allows
each member to leave their
own personal legacy and
knowledge with the club.
People are so passionate about
a variety of things and it is fun
for all of council to get to
know each member better
through their passions.
Professional Presentations:
PR Chairman:
Last year, each committee did a
presentation to Pam Perry &
Anne Pagel (Associate Dean &
Advisor) at the end of the first
semester. Our committees
disbanded after that semester.
This year we decided to continue
committees to follow through on
the ideas they had created. If a
committee was project-based it
was assigned a new project in the
Spring. On March 30th we will
present to Pam Perry & Anne
Pagel for the second time this
year.
ECSC decided to participate in
Club Olympics, the SAA First
Annual Rivalry Run, SMORES
Volleyball Spike-Out, and ASUA
Club Awards. We hope this
continues to help build our name
to the rest of the University.
This year ECSC celebrated our
40th anniversary. In order to keep
in contact with our alumni we
created a database to track our
alumni’s contact information,
location, and current job. We also
created a highly detailed form for
our 22 seniors to fill out before
they graduate.
Dean Recognition:
Semester Updates:
Alumni Database:
We are a known club in Eller, but
we decided we wanted to be a
force to be reckoned within the
University.
University Involvement:
In order to celebrate and welcome
our new Dean Paulo Goes, the
faculty appreciation committee
put together a “freshman year
survival” basket. Dean Goes
received the welcome gift on his
first day in office.
The PR position was created to
allow a younger member to serve
on executive board to combat the
all senior elected board. The PR
position serves as the PR
committee chairman, delegating
marketing materials, alumni
communication, and social media
responsibility to committee
members. The PR committee
serve as an “In-House Agency”
for council marketing initiatives
and has promoted “Straight Outta
Eller” shirts, Mama’s Percentage
Night, Eller Case Competition,
Career Showcase, and Skills
Workshops to the college,
university, and community.
Each meeting, two Seniors are
recognized as a “Senior Star”.
They share when they joined
council, their favorite social and
professional memory. This
engages new members and shows
them events to look forward to.
Senior Stars:

INTERNAL
IMPROVEMENTSCO
Round Robins:
In order to overcome an
executive board of only Seniors,
we created monthly Round
Robins to document and track
each executive board members
progress. This would provide
their successor an idea of how
their position was run in the past.
The three sections of each Round
Robin are In Progress,
Accomplished, and Goals. This
way executive board members
can continually check up on the
projects they have in progress and
ensure they align with their goals.
At the end of the year, we will
print out each month's Round
Robin so each new executive
board member knows what we
accomplished each month.
This year our elected executive
board was entirely Seniors, so
we decided to create Committee
Chairmen positions to inspire
leadership. Students indicated in
a survey their committee
interests, and if they would like
to hold a leadership position.
Committees are based on various
projects (Be Heard Week, PDC
Launch Party, Eller Mentors,
Career Showcase, Eller Case
Competition, Eller App, etc).
Due to the demographic of the
executive board, we opened
our executive board meetings
for general members to attend
beginning a month before
elections. This allows
members to get a better idea of
a position that would be best
fit for them, and to take notes
on our current practices.
Open Executive Board:
Committee Positions:
We implemented a point and
attendance system (3 council
points, 2 philanthropy points)
and tracked it. Over half of the
council members complete two
to three times the allotted
requirements. This ensures that
each member we have dedicates
time to the club. 100% of our
club members met the point
requirements last semester.
Point System:
In the past, our President and
Executive Vice President would
choose the new member class
without a scoring system or
member input. We implemented
an application and interview
scoring system, and opened up
discussion after interviews to
everyone in the club. We targeted
our marketing efforts to pre-
business student leaders and
reached out to clubs such as past
ELITE members. As a result we
had double the applicants from
our 2014 recruitment. We added
22 new outstanding members to
our organization.
As an effort to demonstrate the
continuous achievement of our
alumni we created an “Alumni of
the Month” recognition. Each
month, one council alumni is
chosen to be highlighted during
our meeting and on social media
to share their career path,
favorite council meetings, and
advice for current members.
Our club wanted to improve our
relationship with our alumni.
Therefore we created a digital
newsletter to be sent out to our
alumni. The newsletter includes
photos from this year’s club
activities and articles about
professional, philanthropic, and
social involvement of the club.
Alumni Newsletter:
Alumni of the Month:
Recruitment System:
Each month, Student Council
recognizes two general
members who have gone
above and beyond the
necessary duties of a member.
We give them gift cards and
ensure they realize how much
council appreciates their hard
work.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS// CONTINUED
Member of the
Month:
This year the PR committee
decided to extend the number of
social media platforms that ECSC
uses by creating an Instagram.
Currently we have 57 posts and
160 followers. The content
displayed on our Instagram page
includes everything from member
highlights, postings on current
events, and advertisements for
Career Showcase.
Instagram:
Fundraising:
This year, ECSC decided to try to
host a fundraiser to make more
money for the college. We held
our first ever percentage night at
Mama’s Hawaiian Barbeque and
are still waiting to hear our profits.

INTERNAL
IMPROVEMENTSCO
Calendar:
Our Executive Vice President
created a semesterly calendar
(updated monthly) sent out before
each semester. This has enabled
our members to better schedule
their time and has resulted in
increased event attendance. We
also have an online calendar that
can be downloaded to a phone for
easy use.
ECSC has always held various
socials throughout the year
including: semesterly Cabin
Trips, semesterly banquets,
Stud Bud Reveal at Get Air, a
California trip and a
Halloween Party. This year we
decided to add a few more
socials. We did a White
Elephant Christmas exchange
and a welcome back from
winter break bowling night at
Lucky Strike. We also added a
Senior Dinner at the beginning
of the year to kick off the final
year together.
Socials:
In the past Executive Board
is elected the last week of
April. With Seniors
Graduating the transition
always felt rushed. This
year, we have decide to
push our elections earlier in
order to have an effective
transition period. The last
meeting of the year will be
run by the new executive
board and will honor the
seniors in whatever way
they see fit.
college. By removing
some of the positions on
our executive board we
have allowed for more
structure and less overlap.
We also believe that if fit
the executive board can
appoint members to the
executive board where
they see a need (it is
constantly evolving from
year-to-year).
Executive Board Transition
ECSC has chosen to
restructure the executive board
for the next year. We want to
provide more leadership
opportunities to members,
therefore we want the newly
developed committee
chairmen to play a larger role.
We will have the AVP in
charge of committee head

Club Changes
Change what?
ECSC wants to
continue and grow,
here are some
ways we can
improve next year:
Next year we are designing our executive
board so committee chairmen report to the
Administrative Vice President. Additionally,
the AVP will have monthly meetings with
these chairmen. This should help add a formal
structure to the committees and encourage
additional involvement.
Committee Chairmen Meetings:
Explicit Point System
We want to implement a solid
timeline outline of treasurer
communications regarding dues
(i.e. reminder email to individual
members etc). We use a late fee
but we want to set a solid
timeline so members know up-
front what the follow through
will be if they do not pay.
Improved Payment Plan:
Since this was the first year we used the point system, many members
were confused. We want to implement a timeline for the secretary
(send out point updates on this date, inform those who have not yet
completed requirements on this date, etc). This semester we started
sending out updated points weekly, and we want to continue that into
next year.
Each year, returning Student
Council members receive new
members to be their “Stud Buds”.
Aside from Stud Bud reveal, and
the Halloween party, Stud Buds
are not utilized aside from what
members choose to do on their
own. Next year, we want to
implement more Stud Bud events.

Nancy Gay is worked for Microsoft for 25+ years in all areas including
consulting, MIS, management, and CRM. She hosted an open
discussion about her experiences, providing students with insights on
how to manage work-life balance, improve their strengths, and how to
set themselves apart from other job candidates.
Ralph Nader is a recruiter for Viacom. He gave us a webinar about
professional development, career goals, and how to stand out amongst
other applicants. He also told us best practices to get into the industry
you want to be in, even if you cannot start in it.
Craig Sedoris is a Store Department Manager who presented to
council about how to interact with recruiters in various professional
settings (i.e. career fairs, recruiting events, interviews, etc).
Kylie Dodd is the Recruiting Manager for E&J Gallo Winery in Southern
California. She, along with her colleague, came in and spoke to ECSC
about their rotational program for graduating seniors.. They provided
helpful tips on how to make your resume stand out and how to properly
prepare for an interview.
Alec Demetre is a recent graduate who was highly involved in the
University and Eller community. He set up a networking event where we
met with 3 Eller graduates in different departments of the Phoenix Suns.
He set up a great event for us, and we look forward to repeating the
event.

Communication is a goal we
continuously strive to increase
General Member Communication:
Before each ECSC meeting the VP of
Correspondence sends out a reminder email
with an agenda and the updated point
document included. After each meeting, we
send out an email with the meeting minutes
attached.
The Executive Vice President acted as a
“New Member Educator” throughout the
beginning of their time in council. In order to
better communicate with our new members
we set up a separate meeting for them. We
discussed Eller and council specific
terminology, our goals, and roles in current
projects (i.e. what is our role with the new
PDC?). By having a separate meeting for the
new members, they were given the
opportunity to ask the President and EVP
questions that were repetitive to current
members.
New Member Communication:
COMMUNICATION- IT’S KEY
both internally and externally
Faculty/Admin Communication:
In order to communicate with our
administration the President and Executive
Vice President have bi-weekly meetings
with Pam Perry and Anne Pagel. In
addition the President is in constant
communication with facilities, marketing,
the PDC, career coaches, and many other
members of faculty primarily through
email communications. All of the projects
we have been able to accomplish this year
demonstrate our club's strength in
communicating with the faculty, staff, and
administration of the college.
We decided to create an ECSC ritual and
hold a Welcome Ceremony for our new
members. Each current member presented a
new member they connected with during the
application process with their council shirt
and stated why they were chosen to be a
member.
Welcome Ceremony
By use of our social media pages,
Facebook events, flyers, and speaking in
classrooms, we were able to communicate
information to the students and faculty of
Eller. We are also working on
restructuring our LinkedIn to be a method
of communication with alumni
Communication to the College:
Alumni Contacts:
We communicate with our alumni through
our VP of IT and PR Chairman using
email, Facebook, phone numbers, and
other information found in our database.
Learn how ECSC communicates within the organization internally

Recruitment:
This year, we increased our recruitment with
targeted efforts. We decided it was not about
getting the word out to the most people
possible (since we accept so few) but to the
most qualified individuals. Through these
efforts we decided to reach out to lower-
division members who sought to be leaders
in the college. We reached out to the ELITE
alumni and have been building this
relationship throughout the year (i.e. Club
Fair Attendance, Be Heard Week
Presentation, Spring Fling involvement). We
plan to reach out to the current ELITE
members next year during our Fall
recruitment.
Delta Sigma Pi and Eller College Student
Council partnered up to host a “Professional
Admissions Workshop”. This workshop
occurred a week before professional
admissions and covered interview
preparation, cover letters, resumes, and
professional communication. We hope to
continue partnering with other clubs to host
events like this in the future.
Admissions Workshop
EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION
Spring Fling:
At the beginning of the fall semester,
ECSC spoke to ELITE about potentially
partnering for a booth for Spring Fling.
They were eager to work with us, and after
continuous communication, ELITE will be
directly participating in Spring Fling for
the first time alongside ECSC. We have
built a stronger relationship with them
through our efforts to plan for our food
booth and to ensure member participation
from both clubs during the event.
Be Heard Week demonstrates our ability to
communicate with students throughout the
entire college. Student Council is meant to
represent the voices of all students. This
year we have tried to gain additional
feedback through the Eller Case
Competition, class presentations about
council’s past and current efforts, and focus
grouping different clubs and organizations
within the college.
Be Heard Week/Scholarship Competition:
Our ability to host Skills Workshops
demonstrates our strong communication
with the PDC, and students in Eller. 4/6 of
our workshops have reached capacity, and
students are willing to pay to offset costs.
This demonstrates our ability to show the
value and effectiveness of our programs to
the college
Skills Workshops:
Eller Mentors:
Eller Mentors aims to communicate to
underclassmen through the Eller Insider
Newsletters. These newsletters will act as
a resource for career fair preparation,
college survival tips, internship tips, Eller
Professional Admissions tips, etc. In
addition, the Eller Mentors Committee is
preparing a “people book” that advisors
will have access to and share with students
who want to talk to fellow students about
topics of interest.
Suns Trip:
This year ECSC collaborated with a
brand new club in hopes of building a
strong connection for future events. We
teamed up with the Sports Analytics Club
and attended a networking event with the
Phoenix Suns. Since the Sports Analytics
Club is a new organization for Eller, we
wanted to reach out and help them gain
professional experience while building
their brand within Eller.

received one-on-one assistance
with building their resume and
improving their professional
development.
Ralph Nader, Viacom
Recruiter, held a workshop
assisting members on how to
build and format your resume,
reach your career goals
through related positions, and
to stand out amongst other
applicants.
Professional Workshop:
Professional Presentations:
ECSC hosted a Professional
Admissions Workshop with
Delta Sigma Pi in order to
prepare our members for the
process. Those applying to Eller
rotated through cover letter and
resume edits, mock interviews,
and skills assessment practices.
ECSC welcomes all of their new
members by providing them with
a respective Stud Bud. A Stud Bud
is a current member, who has been
a part of the organization for at
least one year, and who acts as a
“Big Sister/Brother” to new
members. The Stud Bud program
is meant to make the transition
into ECSC easier for new
members by giving them someone
to turn to if they have questions,
need advice, or just want to talk.
Admissions Workshop:
Stud Buds:
Each semester we arranged for at
least two outside speakers to
come into our meetings and talk
about their professional
experience. Some of these
speakers included E&J Gallo
Winery, Target, and Microsoft.
These speakers talked about
opportunities within their
respective companies while also
providing professional tips and
advice that can be applied to any
job or industry.
Outside Speakers:
Returning members give a
presentation on any topic of their
choosing. Members sign up for a
date at the beginning of the
semester and for a topic. Each
meeting there are usually two of
these presentations.

Record Keeping
Minutes:
Minutes are taken every
executive board meeting that are
kept for the next executive board
the following year. Meeting
minutes are also taken during
the Wednesday meetings to send
out to all of the members
Currently, we document the
history of our council members
through our alumni database.

COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY INVOLVEMENT
PDC Donation:
Eller College Student Council
decided to focus our funds into
something we felt passionate
about- the new Professional
Development Center. ECSC
purchased a team room and made
a 5 year commitment of $40,000
to the college. The Eller College
Student Council Team Room will
facilitate collaboration,
something the council believes to
be essential in the Eller
Experience.
New Chairs in Berger:
ECSC conducts Be Heard Week
each year. Traditionally we go
into classrooms and administer
an online survey to collect data.
This year we additionally went
into major based clubs to collect
major specific information. We
also gave a small presentation at
the beginning of classes to talk
about what ECSC has
accomplished so far in order to
better direct responses. Be Heard
Week committee presented the
information to Pam Perry &
Anne Pagel, and have begun to
make changes to the college with
the information we have
gathered.
Students in the marketing major
feel they cannot learn graphic
design skills, and other critical
skills in the current curriculum.
There is a need for a class
(preferably an elective) that
covers these skills. Students are
going to the art college to take
some of these classes currently.
We are setting up a meeting with
the marketing department to
present our findings.
National Board of
Advisors Lunch:
Be Heard Week:
Marketing Meeting:
With results from our annual “Be
Heard Week” council decided to
take initiative and host “Skills”
workshops to build skills that
students felt they were missing in
their education. The following
include the workshops we have
put on so far this year:
• Excel
• Photoshop I & II
• Retail Math
• InDesign
We are in the process of putting
on these workshops again and
adding an “InDesign II”
workshop
Excel Meeting:
Students attended the Board of
Advisors meeting in Phoenix.
Council members interacted with
prominent donors and members of
the college, including Karl Eller
himself.
The past Student Council
President along with the Student
Body President advocated for new
chairs in Berger, and received a
grant from the UA Foundation to
redo the auditorium and bring
power to each and every seat.
Student Council acted as donor
hosts at the PDC Launch Party
during Homecoming. Students
interacted with prominent donors
and faculty and spoke of their
Eller and Professional
Development Center experience.
Additionally our President gave a
speech along with Pam Perry, and
Dean Schatzberg about the
importance of this project.

Skills Workshops:
ECSC has been compiling Excel
knowledge regarding what
necessary Excel related functions
students lack in the current
curriculum after shifting through
student feedback. We will be
meeting with the MIS department
in two weeks to present our
findings.
100% Engagement:
ECSC was used as a focus group
and provided feedback to the
college regarding the 100%
engagement initiative.
PDC Student Launch
Involvement :
ECSC decided to put on our own
launch party to raise awareness of
the new Professional
Development Center. We handed
out food, created flyers, and used
materials from the college to
educate the student body about the
construction that would begin
after Winter Break.

Eller App/ESMS:
ECSC members met with Chris
Jansmann the Business Systems
Architect and the Eller College of
Management to give student
feedback about ideas for an
“Eller App”. They presented
ideas they came up with for their
committee presentation to be
included in this App when it
launched.
ECSC will be holding the first
annual Eller College Student
Council Blood Drive on April
18th. For our first drive, we have
a goal of 30 people. This goal is
not large, but we plan to grow it
immensely in the coming years.
We hope for the Eller College
Student Council Blood Drive to
develop into a known event that
students in the Eller College look
forward to every year.
Occurring after Spring Break,
this week is made to honor our
faculty. Student Council
donates food and collects
nominations from students for
the outstanding small and
large class faculty.
Additionally this year, we
provided stars for students to
write messages thanking
faculty members.
Faculty Appreciation Week:
Blood Drive:
ECSC is one of three clubs that
serves on the “Senior Week
Planning Committee”.
Additionally, ECSC donates
heavily to the Senior Class gift
each year.
Eller Insider:
ASUA implemented a new
structure for their elections that
requires one senator to represent
the Eller College. Student
Council has brainstormed how to
get the senator involved on the
council and integrated into the
club in order to accurately
represent and reflect the needs of
the college. Eller Mentors will allow students
to access a database of fellow
Eller students they can contact
about anything. The students on
the database are Eller College
Student Council members with
various areas of expertise and
interest. This program will
provide undergraduate students
with an extra resource and
improve their Eller experience by
creating early connections to
experienced students.
Eller Mentors:
Senior Week:
Straight Outta Eller:
In the Fall, council decided to
host the first ever
Undergraduate Office
appreciation day. We felt that
the professors often got
brought to Student-Faculty
breakfast and not members of
the undergraduate team. We
provided a surprise bagel and
coffee breakfast for all of the
advisors, staff, coaches, and
student workers in the
Undergraduate Office.

UGRAD Appreciation Day:
ECSC created the Emerging
Leader Scholarship for that
member of an Eller FESO club
that has demonstrated exceptional
leadership and drive not only
within their organization, but in
their academic endeavors and
extracurriculars. Each president of
a FESO club can nominate one
member of their organization to
receive this $250 award.

Welcome Back Week:
Each year, student council hosts
“Welcome Back Week” after the
summer. We tabled to hand out
free food and simply welcome
students back for the semester.
ECSC chose to sell “Straight
Outta Eller” shirts to the entire
college because our shirts were
demanded by so many students.
We sold over 100 shirts and
made over $500 in profit.
Senate Initative:
The Eller Insider will make
underclassmen more confident
about their early college
experience. The newsletters will
provide helpful information
generated by students for other
students, which will give
underclassmen a new
perspective on the Eller
experience.

PDC Donation:
CREATING INNOVATING AND
IMPROVING OUR COMMUNITY
By: ECSC EXECUTIVE
BOARD
This year Student Council
committed $40,000 to fund a
team room in the Professional
Development Center over the
next five years. This is very
important to us because as
students we saw the need for
more space to meet and interact
with teams. We thought it was an
investment that would not only
benefit the college, but future
student council members, and
current members that will use the
team rooms upon completion.
has put on skills workshops to
help students gain additional
skills they felt they were
missing in their jobs and
internships. This year we
began an Adobe Photoshop I,
Adobe Photoshop II, Adobe
InDesign, and Retail Math.
Skills Workshops:
Eller Insider:
ECSC helped Gina Wallen and
Pam Perry recognize and thank
the custodian staff. We also
created Christmas cards for the
staff.
Our goal for the Eller College
Student Council Blood Drive is to
make it a large enough event that
everyone at the University of
Arizona knows about it. We plan
to market it very well this year, so
that next year we can double the
event in size. Blood donations are
always needed and we think this is
a great way to improve the Eller
College, UA and Tucson
community.
Mentor Program:
ECSC Blood Drive:
The mentor program will be
implemented in the Spring of
2016, allowing advisors to link
ECSC members with
underclassmen who want
someone to talk to. This will help
students that want to interact
with other students about their
career goals, major advice, etc.
connect.
Emerging Leader Scholarship:
The Eller Insider newsletter is
currently being developed, and
will be implemented in the Fall of
2016. We plan on sending out the
newsletters periodically
throughout the school year. This
will help new students be able to
see an “inside” perspective into
different “tips and tricks” to
succeed within Eller. Examples of
insiders include “Cat Card vs Cat
Cash”, “How to Calculate Your
Grade”, “Preceptor, TA, Professor,
What’s the Difference?”.
FM Appreciation:
This scholarship was started with
the idea to continue to motivate
future college leaders. We felt
that by providing an award it
would motivate each individual
selected to be nominated within
their own respective club to
continue to strive for excellence.
As ECSC we want to build future
leaders in all areas of the college
and we felt this was a great way
to motivate students to do so.

Q&A’s with our FESO Representative Taylor:
Q: What did you like best about FESO this year?:
T: This year, FESO was very organized. Information that was sent out was very clear and direct, so we were
able to relay it out to our members so that everyone was well-informed. I felt that FESO worked really hard to
communicate effectively with the clubs and make sure that each club felt that it could rely on FESO and
address them with any needs or concerns.
Q: What would you suggest in order to strengthen the relationship
between the clubs?
T: I would suggest organizing more events for all FESO clubs to attend such as the mixer at Gentle Ben’s
earlier in the year. This would allow members from separate clubs to get to know each other and socialize.
What would you suggest in order to strengthen the relationship
between the clubs and the Eller College of Management?
T: I think encouraging clubs to put on joint events through the Standards of Excellence would be a great way
to improve the relationship. Also adding a mixer the 2nd semester for all FESO clubs to interact could be a fun
idea.
What services would you like the Undergraduate Office to provide for
your club?
T: Since ECSC put on so many events for the college, it could be helpful to get a calendar at the beginning of
the year with all the set college events. This would allow us to better be able to plan, prepare, and organize for
the following years.
