Christian Sorensen is a PhD student with ME. (You can see his LinkedIn profile here.)  In our Strategy Sprint yesterday he asked an important question.

How could re|course teams help our student organizations to grow and prosper?

Well, the short answer is we have no idea. So let’s explore. Our first challenge is coming up with a list of all the student organizations. Then, we need to listen for some  really good ideas about how we could collaborate.

There’s a virtuous cycle the Christian suggested  we develop.

If we can get more faculty more involved with student organizations, chances are student organizations will attract more students. And if we attract more students, will attract more faculty.

In other words the whole system will become more vibrant.

The challenge course is figuring out where to start.

As a first step, we are compiling a list of student organizations.  Here’s a snap shot of the white board we took after yesterday’s session.
