GET BUY-IN FROM UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

You can partner with your college administration either before or after getting a group together.

Some places to check out would be:

• Your Student Affairs office or division
• Marketing and Communications office
• The dean of your Humanities college
• Academic programs and departments offered at your college, especially: 
  • Political science 
  • Communications or public relations
  • Marketing
  • Non-profit management
  • Higher education administration
• Union leaders

Many of these divisions and offices already have staff members dedicated to supporting student organizations and advertising campus initiatives.
