5 KEY STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING SUPPORT
1. Information packets for faculty 2. Workshops, meetings, symposia, classroom visits 3. Social media 4. Community networking 5. Special events
Information packets for faculty
• Worked with graduate assistant
• Visited nearly every academic unit on campus
• Stressed how disciplines are already active in this area and how it’s reflected in the professional literature
• Can be easily integrated into what they’re already doing
