- Download handouts and other resources from the Campus Representative Resources
Collaborate with Other Departments on Your Campus
- Send information to administrators, professors, and department heads in Boren-preferred fields of study
- Inform the heads of the honors, financial aid, study abroad, and fellowship programs
- Present information about Boren at faculty meetings
- Post Boren program announcements on departmental bulletin boards and listservs
Recruit Students
- Advertise Boren webinars, arrange to view them together, or conduct your own information sessions
- Post announcements/articles on appropriate websites, Facebook, and Twitter
- Conduct student information sessions to announce the program
