Did you succeed in achieving your action steps since the last meeting? If yes, please state which action steps you were able to complete. If no, please explain the challenges that you experienced. (If first meeting, write ‘first meeting’ here.):
First Meeting
Please state your goal using the SMART Method: Specific: Avoid generalities! Your goal should have specific details so you know what you are achieving. Measurable: Make sure you have solid criteria for establishing your progress toward your goal. Actionable: You can clearly define action steps towards your goal Rewarding: Your goal must be something that is meaningful and worthwhile. Time Specific: Having specific dates for beginning and finishing goals keeps you on track. Example: “My goal is to receive a Sports Internship by May 1st”:
My goal is to find an SNT meeting that is not full.
Please list the action steps you will take to achieve your goals stated above. These are action steps that will be completed by next meeting. Example: “1. Finish my resume. 2. Talk with my advisor. 3. Submit a sports internship application at two institutions.”:
I guess just wait?
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?:
They haven't because there are no available SNTs in my chapter.

Hello Patrick,
I hope this email finds you well. I reviewed your SNT today. I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble attending one of the SNT meetings on the chapter events calendar. Please note, you do not need to complete your SNT's strictly via that option. To get started on SNT's you'll form a group with peers of your choosing. Your group members do not need to be NSLS members. To form a group, you have several options:
Option One: Go to the official NSLS Facebook Group. Many members post messages seeking peers to start their SNTs. If you don’t see a current active post, start your own using the following language: Would anyone like to start a virtual SNT group? We can meet new people and help each other along the way. I think 4-5 people to join would work. Thanks!
Option Two: Check the NSLS Facebook group to see if there are active groups that other chapters offer to all NSLS members. You don't have to belong to a specific chapter/school to join some of these groups.
Option Three: Gather a group on your own using family members, friends, colleagues, or peers. I would suggest engaging family members or friends who you already interact with on a regular basis that you know will be supportive to you. If in person meetings are not an option, you may have your meetings over the phone or internet (i.e. Skype, Zoom, Facetime, etc...).
For your SNT meetings, ideally your group will consist of 4-6 people, however as long as you have one other person to hold your meetings with, that will work! The purpose of the SNT is to provide a support network for you as you set goals and begin working towards them. Once you have put together your group, you will hold your SNT meetings using the process outlined in the Online - NSLS Program Guide. You will need to complete a total of three SNT meetings and the meetings should be spaced 1-2 weeks apart. After each meeting, you will need to log in to the Member's Area and click on the SNT icon under "Foundations of Leadership" to submit a new SNT report. Here is the direct link:

I hope this information is helpful!
Best,Stacy
