Tell Your Campus Paper
If you’ve just returned from the Power 100, it’s the ideal time to tell your school newspaper about what you experienced here in Washington. Your paper is a very important tool in spreading the word — so important that, THROUGH FEBRUARY 12, a story in your campus newspaper will earn you 10,000 points. That’s up from 3,000 points!
This could be a game-changer for schools looking to crack the top 20. Here’s the deal:
Contact Chandler Smith for a press release that you can use, and fill in some of your own information. Send this press release along with a note to the editor of your school newspaper. It’s so easy — we can even provide you the name and/or email address of your editor.
Once you send your press release in, just make a quick call to the paper’s office or check with a friend you have on staff to see if your paper is interested. You might want to consider offering some pictures you took at the summit to spice up the story.
Finally, make sure you submit the action once it runs so we can give your school the 10,000 points.
Your friendly Communications staff at ONE is more than happy to help. You can email me at chandler.smith@one.org or Robyn Mitchell at robyn.mitchell@one.org and we’ll get right back to you.
Thanks everyone.

Are we having a February challenge?

Hi Jackie,
We actually extended the January Challenge through February because of the earthquake in Haiti in mid-January. We didn’t want the video challenge to take away from all of the time and resources that OCC members were already logging in support of Haiti, all of which have very clear links to ONE’s larger mission.
So, in terms of a new challenge, no, we will not have one for February, but keep an eye on the website for the new challenge in March.
Thanks for the comment!

Actually one other question – are the final projects going to take place in April this year as opposed to March?
