Activities, Leadership, & Service Committees:

Everyone is invited to get involved in class leadership or join an LDSSA committee.

Choir/Latter-day Celebration (LDC): Provide music and programs that invite the Spirit through excellence in performance. Represent the Institute throughout the community through the Latter-day Celebration choir (audition required), and the noon and evening choirs. Provide a float and arrange for a participation in the July 4th Freedom Festival parade.

Dances & Special Events: Provide a fun, uplifting atmosphere where wholesome social interaction is encouraged through dances and other social events. This includes a dance theme, decorations, refreshments, music, and cleanup. Plan the Spring-semester Women's and Men's Appreciation luncheons in coordination with the council presidency, along with other wholesome Institute social events.

Devotional: Plan, organize, and prepare inspiring weekly devotionals for the students at the Orem Institute of Religion and UVU. Responsibilities include ushering during the devotionals, encouraging student attendance at the devotionals and their enrolling for credit, as well as providing a luncheon after the devotional for the speaker, guests, invited students, faculty, and staff.

Enrollment: Extend our exposure by inviting every potential Institute student to enroll. Arrange for an enrollment booth on campus at designated times throughout the semester, plus all other activities focusing on the enrollment of students in Institute classes on and off campus. Sponsor priesthood leader visits to the Institute, a monthly open house for priests and laurels from local stakes, and visits to the local seminaries through out the year and at the end of our Spring semester.

Evening & Day Time Munch & Mingle: Organize and provide for the "Munch-and-Mingle" activity, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the day or evening when scheduled. (There are 6 council positions two council members will serve on each of the days respectively - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)

Fellowship & Missionary: Find ways to welcome, reach out to, and fellowship all those who enter our Institute. Create a warm and welcoming environment at the beginning of each semester that will continue throughout the semester. Sponsor Bread and Jam Days, Hot Chocolate Days, Ice Cream Days, etc., along with regularly greeting students in the lobbies. Coordinate the missionary efforts of our Institute students with the full-time missionaries, to invite and teach others the gospel of Jesus Christ. This includes helping with the call center, providing firesides and promoting other activities that foster missionary work.

Historian: Help document all of the activities through photograph, video, and the written word. This may also include posting pictures of past activities on display boards in the lobby; interviewing students and posting their comments with pictures about Institute activities and classes, and preparing slide shows of activities and showing them in the game room or at other events. Help all of the executive council with other assignments as necessary.

International/Multicultural: Help our students from many different cultures and all international students to come to the Institute and participate in the classes and activities. Host an International Week, and regularly sponsor other activities (i.e. luncheons, firesides, study groups, pink-pong tournaments, etc.) that would encourage those of various nationalities, cultures, and languages to get involved in Institute. Work closely with the International Club on campus.
