More things points! If you select an event on the availability form and are then chosen for it, you will be notified via email. If something comes up and you are unable to make your event, please follow these steps: 1. Email engugambassadors@osu.edu and COPY meadows.241@osu.edu, shaikh.113@osu.edu, dejesus.63@buckeyemail.osu.edu, lippucci.3@buckeyemail.osu.edu, and bawa.23@buckeyemail.osu.edu that you are unable to make the event (with the event date and name listed). 2. Send a message in the GroupMe asking if anyone can cover your event. It is your responsibility to find coverage. 3. Follow up on this message is no one responds, and it is nearing the event date. Generally, LT will try to cover if no one else can. It helps to send the first message in the GroupMe as early as possible to give people time to see if they can cover. 4. If someone says they can cover, follow up on the email sent in #1 and state who is covering for you. If no one can cover your event and you do not show, you will receive 1 point. Emergencies will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis contact LT and Christine/Yusra if this happens. You will receive notification from the engugambassador email for any negative points
