The first step in engagement is raising awareness about an issue and what each student can do to make a difference. Through awareness, you want to create a buzz on your campus. The more people who are talking about these issues, the more interest you will be able to generate for future events and participation.


Spread the word:



Tabling

  • Set up a table in a high-traffic area of campus and invite people to sign up with ONE and the ONE Campus Challenge in support of the fight against global poverty and preventable disease.

  • Be sure to check out our guide on How To: Table for tips.



Organizational Endorsements

  • Ask campus groups to post ONE banners on their websites, and attend their meetings. Think about clubs with similar issues, the College Democrats and Republicans, or Greek groups.

  • Ask campus groups to place ONE materials on their tables at events they are sponsoring, and offer to let them distribute their materials at your events.



ONE in the Classroom

  • Ask professors who teach relevant subjects to endorse ONE (International Development, Africana Studies, International Affairs, International Economics, Public Health, etc.).

  • Ask to make a brief presentation about ONE in some of these related classes to recruit new membership.



Banners and Fliers

  • Create banners and fliers with attention-grabbing facts.

  • Provide an email address or meeting time so students know how to become involved.

  • Hang signs and banners at sporting events, dining halls, dormitories, and other high-traffic areas around campus.



Make ONE Members Visible

  • Have your team members wear t-shirts on the same day around campus or to well-attended campus events.

  • Have college athletes wear wristbands during games and encourage teammates to do the same.

  • "Band" your professors, classmates, and friends. Contact your COA if you need ONE bands.



Campus Activity Fairs

  • These events provide a great forum to recruit new students and reacquaint with old members.



Campus Media

  • Ask your campus newspaper to print a ONE advertisement.

  • Submit editorials to your campus newspaper explaining why people should get involved with ONE.

  • Ask college TV and radio stations to mention ONE on the air or give you 5 minutes to talk about the Campus Challenge.
