How does the Tiger Stripes Program Work?
Each semester your organization will have the option to complete various requirements to receive associated rewards.
All requirements that are completed during the current semester will yield benefits for the FOLLOWING semester.
For instance, all of the requirements that your organization completes during this Fall 2016 semester, will yield you the associated benefits for Spring 2016.
Currently your organization is receiving benefits this semester based on the requirements that your organization completed in Spring 2015.
How can I find out what benefits my group has? Log onto Involved@TU and check the profile section of your organization’s page
Check out the google document here: http://bit.ly/TigerStripesFall2015
Be sure to check the current semester you are viewing at the bottom of the page
What package is right for my organization?
Each semester your group can pick which rewards you are going to aim to receive
Pick the package that offers the benefits that best serve your organization
Have a discussion with your organization, or at a minimum your group’s officers, to develop a plan for achieving the package number that best suits your organization.
