• Sports Business Summit: Gathered six speakers to discuss issues about the present and the future of the sports industry
During five months we were in charge of the organization of a Business Summit at IE Business School.
This Summit has been divided into two events where we presented the industry nowadays and where it is leading to in the short term.
■ The Football Industry Nowadays. We gathered Luis Vicente from Valencia CF, Oscar Guerra from Nike and Fernando Martin from Zuqium
■ The Future of the Sports Industry. We gathered Oscar Peña from Intel & Anderground, Christian Mauriand from iRewind and Asier Arranz from Perception HUB
Thanks to this events, we gathered 200 attendees and we encouraged networking between IE students and other Business Schools and some companies here in Madrid.

In Lewis and Clark High School’s Key Club, meetings are always held in a crowded classroom. The
system of event sign-up is inefficient and hinders members from joining events. This has led to students
becoming discouraged from joining Key Club and often resulted in a lack of volunteers for important
events. The club needed a more efficient way of connecting volunteers with volunteering opportunities. To
solve this problem, we developed a VolunteerMatch Mobile application using Dart and Flutter framework
for Key Club to use. The next steps will be to add a volunteer event recommendation and matching feature,

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Org Sync has been a huge culture shift in the Club Sports Program. There many stories to tell about this journey, so I’ll just be brief today and give you a glimpse . But the full story is a tale of cultural change and the trials and tribulations of planning, and implementing such change. Some of these chapters I’ll save for another day:How it has changed the way we do business with students. How it has changed how we communicate with students.How we manage workflow in our department.How our staff has changed our personal working styles to accommodate the incorporation of this new technology.
As we have made this journey, there have been some ups and downs-“I hate paper forms I need to get rid of this” moments…. to….“Ah-ha…..Org Sync could really help solve this paper problem.” moments….to….3. “Oh my …I broke Org Sync!” moments….to…4. “Oh….lala…this is a nice feature I just discovered…how can we use this hmmm?” moment…to….5. “Oh my….this is not working for us” troubleshooting moments……to6. “Ok, we got this”…moments (these moments are becoming more consistent)
What the heck does that mean?What are Club Sports? What the heck does this mean?To summarize…
Club Sports play a lot.
Club Sports win a lot.
Club Sports drives around a lot
Club Sports get injured.
With all this activity, what does this kind and volume of activity produce???
Paper, forms, and files. We are spending too much time teaching students how to fill out forms. Forms they’ll never need to fill outStaff is spending too much time filing and processing forms and maintaining files.
To summarize, the issue, Club Sports has a lot of forms.How can we design a form process, intake process, review process, approval process, storage process to efficiently capture and store data without spending a lot of time and effort?
The answer for us has been Org Sync.
So far, the overall operational impact we are discovering is..Club Sports staff is able to manage our intake and workflow more efficiently.We are becoming a “paper-lesser” office. We’ve created an e-file system to replace many of our hard file storage.
We can do our work from the beach!!!
On the student end, with Org Sync’s communication features, we’ve been able to diversify our communication strategies. We are still exploring the communication features, but the hope is for us to be able to strategically communicate information to those in our community who specifically need it, so we aren’t overwhelming them with information that is irrelevant.
It’s a learning curve for all, but students are catching on.
The features are endless. But, I’ll give you a brief tour of the features we have made work successfully for our program so far….
This is authenticated system. This has enabled us to post program waivers for electronic submission.Prior to using Org Sync, these waivers were paper forms. We would have to collect over 1000 paper forms, and store each year in binders. I would encourage you all to create a profiles and click around.This has enabled us to move our waiver process to Org Sync, instead of collecting hard paper forms.
Umbrella portals allow you to create forms and files specifically for the organization that register with the umbrella.Example. I am an administrator on the club sports umbrella. We created a “Member Registration Form” from our umbrella, and was able to post it to all the clubs who registered as a club sport. ASUO groups, and others don’t see that form.

We created a “Member Registration Form” from our umbrella, and was able to post it to all the clubs who registered as a club sport. ASUO groups, and others don’t see that form.
Let’s review---The Club Sports Umbrella portal is where all the operations business takes place.Club Sports staff (Stephanie, Shawn, and myself) are administrators of this umbrella. From here we design, post, forms to our club sports portals. From here we review forms being submitted from club sports portals.Hopefully I haven’t lost you yet!
Portals are like the starfleet. Each club or member of the “Starfleet” has a portal that connects to the Umbrella (the USS Enterprise).
Back to the story….Umbrella portals allow you to create forms and files specifically for the organization that register with the umbrella.Example. I am an administrator on the club sports umbrella. We created a “Member Registration Form” from our umbrella, and was able to post it to all the clubs who registered as a club sport. ASUO groups, and others don’t see that form.
From there, users can navigate to a portal of their choice to find a club of interest…
Let’s visit the Club Leadership portal.Through training, club officers have been educated that we store files and forms for them on this portal that they can access to do business with our office.
Student have been educated that we post resources for them on the Club Leadership Portal. Club officer resources and forms are located off the Club Sports Leadership portal.
Example—Using the files feature, we’ve loaded our Club Officer Manual onto the files. In hard copy form, this 100+ page document was an annual project, that wasn’t easy to read or access for Club Officers.With it available to students electronically, they can access answers to some of their questions by finding the relevant topic in Files.
This feature has been helpful for students and our staff for advising purposes.Students can access the file themselves. Alternatively, if we feel that certain club officers may need additional information from our manual, we can easily share specific chapters using the “share” feature.
File example.
This feature has had various impacts. One has been to support our efforts to be a “paper lesser” department. Now that we are moving paper back and forth with students electronically, we have emptied many of our hard files and have created an e-file system on our UO server to store files.
Forms has been another feature we have found helpful.Example---A club officer wants to submit a purchase request form to spend funds out of their account.
By accessing the club officer portal, and clicking on “Forms,” a student sees a list of forms. These forms used to be “paper” and available in our office.With Org Sync, students can click on the form they need to access. In this example, let’s pretend a club officer wants to purchase some equipment…
The club officer would fill out all the information about their intended purchase.Once the club officer hits “submit” the form goes to the Umbrella portal, where Clubhouse staff can review and assign the purchase a transaction # and determine an appropriate transaction method based on the nature of the transaction (Visa, purchase order, etc.)
Let’s stop and review…The completed form is sent from the portal to the Club Sports Umbrella. In other words, it is “beamed from the star fleet to the Starship Enterprise” where Club Sports staff can review and process it.Internally, we’ve designed a workflow system, where staff takes ownership of certain forms to screen and move forward in the process..For example, I screen all event requests. Once screened and approved, a club officer moves on to complete applicable event forms. This would include motor pool request forms. Shawn manages the screening process for those form submissions.
Back to the story…A club officer has submitted a purchase request. When a member of Clubhouse staff logs into Org Sync, to screen forms, Org Sync tells us what kind of forms we have waiting for us to review. In this example, I can see I have a purchase request form to review. I’m going to review it by clicking the form…
I see that Men’s Water Polo has submitted a purchase request that still needs to be reviewed, so I am going to click on it.
When I click, I open the request. I review the information. If all is “A-OK” I assign it a Purchase Authorization # and approve it. We use “purchase authorization” numbers to internally track our transactions. It’s a Club Sports operational step.
Once approved, a student will get a customized message to educate them on next steps with the process.This has helped the staff communicate more effectively with club officers about the next step of the process.
Events forms area little different, in that club officers can create events directly from their club’s portals. Let’s pretend I’m a Women’s Soccer Officer. I want to register an event with the Clubhouse. So, I visit my club’s portal and click “Events.”
This will prompt a club officer to “Create an event.”
By creating an event, the club officer completes the Club Sports Event Registration form that we have designed, using the Umbrella portal, to capture the information the program needs to screen events. The club officer submits the form.The information is submitted electronically to the………
….the Club Sports Umbrella portal (USS Enterprise), where it is reviewed, approved/denied/placed in pending status, by Club Sports Staff. Stephanie, Shawn and I create all forms files, and post messages for club leaders.
Back to the story…From the Club Sports Umbrella portal (the USS Enterprise) this is what I see as an administrator.. I have 3 pending event requests to review. I decide to review the W. Soccer request. What do they want to do?.....
When I review the event, I can approve it by publishing, hold in pending, or deny the event.Org Sync also gives me the option to message the submitter. This is especially helpful if I need to deny event, and provide the club officer more information about why the event was denied, and the additional information that is needed to approve the request.
Once approved, the event shows up in umbrella portalcalender.
The event feature makes it easy to connect to social media and push out event information. It allows people to RSVP. We have found this feature to be especially helpful when tracking attendance at club officer trainings. Attendance is downloadable (into an excel file). This is helping us automate and track attendance and participation numbers.
Links to social media…
We are using our twitter account more!
Using the event feature on Org Sync has allowed us to create an event intake process. This process helps Club Sports staff to screen upcoming events and prepare to help club officers facilitate the details to make those events happen. Club Sports is better able to support clubs in their publicity efforts by using social media events to push information out through those outlets.
On the student side, students don’t have to struggle with paper form.Students can access and submit forms outside of regular Clubhouse business hours.
This improved efficiency allow student and staff less time on cumbersome paperwork and more time on learning other skills that they can take with them beyond their time at the University.What information do you showWhat information do you REFERENCEWhat responsibilities would be good for incoming officers to SHADOW YOU?
Plus, with the renovation, it will be an easier move!!
This makes the USS Enterprise staff pretty happy..
Oh, and students seem to be happy too. But, most of our students now weren’t around pre-Org Sync. So, this has become the norm for doing business with the Club Sports Program. That’s a good feeling!
