Slideshow to inform new members of UVic SOS.

1. We are a chapter of Students Offering Support, an
international charitable organization that seeks to
Raise Marks, Raise Money and Raise Roofs.

2. UVic SOS members
prepare, market, and run
review sessions before
midterms and final exams.

3. To attend one of these 3 hour
sessions and receive a take-
home review
package, students pay a $20
donation.

4. All money raised from review
sessions goes towards
building an education-related
development project in Latin
America during a summer
outreach trip.

6. Exam-AIDs are lectures taught by our
Tutors that include a review of the
curriculum and example problems.
In 2011/2012, we taught 400 students
and raised $7700!

7. Anatomy of an Exam-AID:
General Volunteers collect
donations at the door
Quality review materials
Well-prepared Tutors
Lots of students!

8. President’s Message:
Our goal is not only to get large numbers of students
attending our sessions, but more importantly to ensure
we provide a helpful and high-quality service.

9. The VP Academics organizes Course Coordinators and Exam-
AID Tutors into groups to develop and run review sessions.
Tutors are upper-level students who have excelled in the course and
are able to explain the material in fun and understandable ways.

10. “Definitely worth the fee, especially considering it is for a
charitable cause.”
“This is a really great program. I find this more helpful than
the review sessions put on by the professors.”
“Loved how it was a full overview of the course in such a
short amount of time and cheap!”
“Awesome explanations and examples.”
“I feel much more confident in the material.”
“Keep it up. This was really helpful”

11. The VP Marketing directs the General
Volunteers to do marketing activities.
Long-term goal:
Make UVic SOS a well-known name
across campus that is synonymous with
quality review sessions!

12. General Volunteers advertise SOS Exam-AID review sessions with:
Posters and brochures and… some very creative marketing!

13. General Volunteers are also cashiers at Exam-AIDs
and run our recruitment table at campus events.

14. All the money we generate from Exam-AID
sessions funds the supplies & building
materials for outreach projects.
But we don’t just give the money away…
These projects are constructed by SOS
volunteers themselves!

15. The VP Outreach works with SOS
staff at the national headquarters to
design a volunteer outreach trip for
our chapter.
Participants pay about $1800 to
cover costs for the 2-week trip.
This summer, UVic SOS members
went to Guatemala to construct an
eco-friendly schoolhouse!

16. - The VP Finance tracks every penny spent and earned!
- The VP Human Resources helps hire and coordinate volunteers.
- The Graphic Designer creates our eye-catching marketing material.

18. Thanks for your interest in volunteering with us!
We look forward to working with you to
Raise Marks,
Raise Money &
Raise Roofs!
