Freshman Representative Onboarding Welcome to Blueprint! We are really excited to welcome you to the team and start working together. We truly believe in our mission and are thrilled you decided to run for freshman rep. Our Mission Read the following link to learn more about our mission, values and goals we have in place for the next 5 years. Wiki Link. Blueprint Structure Before we delve in, here's a quick overview of how our executive board (e-board) is structured. Because Blueprint is a very operations-heavy organization, we divide our work into two subteam: Operations Team - Focused on supporting our project teams. They ensure each project team has the resources, guidance, and structure needed to deliver software for our partner organizations Club Team - Focused on the internal and community side of Blueprint. They handle everything related to club operations - planning events, designing flyers, booking rooms, and keeping our campus presence strong. You can check out the following wiki link to learn more about how Blueprint is structured, and all the teams we have. Wiki Link Current NPO Partners We currently have two projects, learn about them, their mission, and undertand the software we are building for them.

Meeting Cadence.  Whole e-board meets Wednesday 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm Responsibilities as Freshman Rep We’re so excited for you to join us and start learning the ins and outs of how we run Blueprint! As a Freshman Representative, your first step will be to shadow members of the Executive Board (E-Board) to see how everything fits together. Your first task will be to set up 1:1 meetings with each E-Board member. During these chats, take some time to learn about their main responsibilities, what challenges they face, and how their roles contribute to Blueprint’s overall mission. President VP Operations Operations Team VP Projects VP Tech VP Design Club Team VP Recruitment VP Marketing VP Finance In addition to shadowing, we’d love for you to take on a project of your own this year — something that can make a lasting impact on the organization. Some examples of past Freshman Rep projects include: Blueprint Learn: Self-paced software-development workshops on GitHub, with automatically graded assignments. The wiki includes Intro to Git, Portfolio Website, and Data Fetching and APIs. Members can use these guided exercises to build skills at their own pace. Blueprint Connect: An initiative that brings members together around shared interests and goals to form teams for hackathons and smaller projects. Its documented workflow is to sign up, get matched with teammates, build together, and share the result. Deadlines You will have to present your Blueprint project. You will present your idea, execution plan, and outcomes in front of the e-board.
