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.

Responsibilities as Freshman Rep
We want you to know the ins and outs of how we manage Blueprint.
Operations Team
Club Team
However, we also want you to contribute to the club. You will take on a project for the year that you think will benefit the organization as a whole. Examples of previous projects include:
- Bluprint Grow: Mentornship program. We are running it this year as well!
- Onboarding documentation for new members. As you may know developing software is hard, so our previous freshman representative created an onboarding guide for new members to learn more about technologies developers use everyday. See wiki
