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 thrittled you decided to run for freshman rep.
Team Structure
Before we deive 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 teh 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.
Communication
We use discord as our main communication channel. If you have any questions or want to bring up anything with the e-board, please tag us on Discord. We have multiple channels
