          1. Who gets to attend?

            1. If the event is focused on preparing for a service trip then is it still open to all students?

          2. Use the VRC to get official training for the event instead of just saying things along the lines of “don’t be a white savior.”

        5. Budgetary Questions (to send to organization)

          1. Will you all make sure to contact the Volunteer Resource Center and try to incorporate them into your event?
