Package 4 Requirements
Student Engagement Record (SER)


Similar to a resume, your Student Engagement Record is a listing of all of your key experiences here at TU

Helpful for articulating what your experiences have taught you outside of your academic experience

Can be used as a supplemental document for job interviews or grad school applications
To update: Go to https://involved.towson.edu/

Log in, click on your name and select "Involvement"

From the Student Engagement Record tab you can select which experiences to show/hide

To add experiences, click on "Involvement" -> Experiences -> Add Experience

At anytime from your engagement record you can save it as a PDF or print


This is useful if you would like to highlight different experiences for different employers
To receive credit for this requirement, you must have two officers update their SER:

Add your relevant experiences to your Student Engagement Record and save it as a PDF

Engagement records with solely organizational involvement will not be accepted

Have your other officer do the same and e-mail you a copy of theirs

Upload both of your Student Engagement PDF's to the following form: https://involved.towson.edu/form/start/91439
Package 4 Benefits
Early Room Registration (Spring only)
Annual room reservations in the spring are typically done on a first-come first
serve basis
 Groups allowed to request space for weekly meetings and one event each
semester
 Organizations receiving this benefit will have their room reservation submission
time set back by 1 hour



How this works: If room reservations typically open at 9AM

Your organization submits its room request at 9:30AM

ECS checks the list of organizations receiving package 4 benefits and moves your
organization's request back by 1 hour (as though your request was made at
8:30AM)

Your organization receives its request prior to all organizations that requested at
9AM that are not recipients of package 4 benefits
This all but guarantees first choice of space for organizations looking to set
meetings/events in the following year.
