MacInsiders Needs Volunteers!
MacInsiders is a site run by McMaster students and for McMaster students, staff and community as a whole. We have had great success over the past two and a half years, with MacInsiders winning
MSU Club of the Year in 2008, and the number of registered members currently exceeding 5600 individuals (!!!).
We have been improving the site more and more each year, and recently we have implemented more changes which we hope will make the site even better! Unfortunately the Exec Team is very small (four people), and we can't make all of the changes and improvements we would like on our own. Sooo...this is why we are asking all of our members to help us out! The more content you provide MacInsiders the bigger and better it will become!
Insiders Agents Team
This is a
BRAND NEW way to help out MacInsiders! If you are a member of the team you will have a badge on your profile, have
exclusive access to a special forum ONLY for Insiders Agents Team members, and a few other
secret perks! Insiders Agents will be helping the Exec on special projects such as (but not limited to) promotions and marketing. If you are a member of the Insiders Agents Team, you can use the time you spend helping out towards
completion for the
Mary E. Keyes Leadership Program, or
MacSTAR program as well as receive a letter of reference which you can utilize for post-grad or job applications. This is a great way for
incoming first year students to get involved with MacInsiders and McMaster!
Please send a short paragraph about why you'd like to get involved and your username to
[email protected] . We will get back to within seven business days about the status of your application.
No prior experience necessary!
Posting on Forums
When you first checked out this site, it was most-likely to find the answers to a question, which was answered by one of your McMaster peers. People are always asking questions, and if you have the answer, or know how the poster can find it
please post!
