Time to Remind

March 20th, 2009 at 9:38 am

Hey OCCers,

Just a little reminder that OCC’s point system is going to shut down after THIS SUNDAY. We’ll tabulate the points for individual actions and figure out which 20 of you will be invited to apply for OCC’s trip to Africa this summer. While OCC still has a lot going on between now and May 1, we’ll be done counting points. Think of it as the points system and the leader board going on Summer Break a couple weeks early.

We’re going to re-work the points system – add some new stuff, take some other stuff out that you guys didn’t use. (Please feel free to give us suggestions – we love us some feedback.) The points system is set to open back up in the middle of August, right around when most of you guys are getting back to school. Points you earn from this time on (which we will announce on the blog or through an email), even though it’s before our official launch, will count towards your campus’s points total for OCC 09/10.

Of course, poverty doesn’t run on the semester break schedule. Don’t worry – there are still tons of ways to help. ONE will still send out petitions and calls to action that we of course want your help with. They’ll just be out of your passion for ending global poverty and disease rather than earning points to land your campus in the top 10.
