ASNIC to create club portal

The Associated Students of North Idaho College (ASNIC) have decided to create a new portal dedicated only to the school’s clubs.
“The decision was made to help keep track of the clubs, their activities and their members,” Casey Hornbeck, ASNIC senator, said.
With the new portal students can record the amount of hours they spend performing activities or volunteering for their clubs.
“It would be very good for increasing student involvement,” Hornbeck said. “Everything would be online, in a very visible and familiar format. It is awesome.”
Hornbeck said that the new portal would also assist the school in organizing the budget and seeing what needs to be improved. At the same time would make it easier for the clubs to submit a request since everything would be electronic.
OrgSync, the new portal, would be located in MyNIC as a new link.
“For a long time students have wanted an online mechanism to organize involvement. OrgSync will help student groups to solicit new members, advertise events, keep track of attendance and build individualized online resumes,” Heather Erikson, assistant director for student development, said.
Finances for the full site have to be approved in the next couple of months.
“It is going through the process right now, it looks promising,” Hornbeck said. “My hope would be to get it approved by the spring, set it up over the summer and then me, other senators and club leaders can start filling it out at the end of the summer, so hopefully next fall would be out.”
