#3 Get Involved

Students don’t come—because they don’t know:
inform your public. E.g. let them follow us on events.
Lack of participants: They need personal invitations
>different students group need different invitations.
Acting members are quitting: They’re burning out.
Train them and pass along some of their work
Attendances are terrible: students weren’t
surveyed about what they really want >> survey
the student/ work with school department. E.g.
get help from marketing classes to help you survey
students

1 New Initiative For ASCC
Survey the students
Get to know what
students want,
instead of what
student
government want
We used to ask during the AS meeting about the feedback after
the events. So AS members and students who were in the
meetings can give feedback.
Survey the students during the events, ask about their feedback
and suggestions on the events, and get to know their expectations
for future improvement.
What I Will Incorporate in
My Work with ASCC
From the Conference
Be aware the necessity of using different communicating
methods when talking to different people so as to make
the communication more effective.
THANK YOU
For Your Listening
