Local seeking NPC affiliation

[BlueEyedButrfly]

Hey guys...I'm kinda bummed. I sent NPC information to my student activities director (which, apparently, isn't even her normal job) and this is her reply to me:

Hi Mary,

Thank you. That information was exactly what I was looking for when I asked what the practical extended responsibility of an institution was. I knew the NPC extension process would likely call for a campus coordinator as an administrative contact who would represent the college and commit to the integrity of the extension process on campus.

As you might remember, the Director of Student Activities position at RIC has been vacant for two years. As the Director of the Student Union, I have been trying to tend to the Student Union Director’s job while upholding the Student Activities basic functions – all the while fully aware that neither position is fully meeting its potential and internal goals for our department. Unfortunately, I do not have the time, personnel or expertise to dedicate to an effort such as yours at this time.

If I have misunderstood this aspect of the extension process or if there is another way to handle it without the administrative commitment, I would welcome your ideas and alternative perspective. Otherwise, I expect to continue to support your currently recognized student organization, as I do our other student groups, and look forward to a great spring semester.

So, does anyone have any ideas as to how I can continue on trying to go National without a commitment from her? This really stinks
