Resource talk:How to create a cross-cutting student organization

This page, Creating Resource talk: How to create a cross-cutting student organization, was very informative and provided information that is very beneficial to forming cross-cutting student organizations. This page discusses the types of students you want to focus on attracting to your group. These types of student's should have some sort of leadership experience, be passionate about your mission, and want to stick around and support your mission for a long time. This page also discusses how to attract these students and describes some creative methods for doing so. In addition to attracting students, which are described as the "fuel" to your cause, it is important to build strong relationships with faculty members, otherwise known as the "engine" to your cause. With any organization, funding is very important. One interesting point this article made was that funding will come when your group is ready for it. Your group's main goal should be to, "break down barriers and bring people together".
