Helpful Files for Advisors

There are many various required activities and events that must be completed for the religious recognitions. Sometimes it is hard as an Adviser to know where to find information about where to find these activities and events. Below are some that we know are planned and that can assist your efforts in completing the various religious recognitions. See the links specific to each religious recognition for more specific information.
