== The Method: Campus Promotion ==
<span style="font-size:medium;">Delviring this message clearly and concisely can have a huge effect on an active campus, and in turn, those who are affected by the SE companies that these students create. </span>
=== Support ===
<span style="font-size:medium;">When trying to generate an interest in SE it is important to have people backing not only your SE ideas, but your efforts to bring the concept to others. Hosting events can be a great way to get the word out, but are even more effective if they are backed by someone of importance in the university or a local innovation center. Get professors and deans involved in your ideas and give them something solid to get behind; ask local business to sponsor your events as well. People will always want to be a part of positive change and you would be surprised at the amount of university staff willing to help you in your efforts. </span>
=== Outreach ===
<span style="font-size:medium;">Try to reach all audiences; don't exclude anyone based on major or college. Everyone has great ideas and bringing together people from all majors and years is an excellent way to network, collaborate, and potentially start a life-changing profitable company. Spread the word using as many means as possible, giving different roles to different team members. As young members of the community, social media is an excellent way to get the word out. Tabling, flyers, and even mass emails are ways of communication that you should take advantage of. Ask the professors who have encouraged your event to spread the word during their classes. </span>
=== Events and Organizations ===
<span style="font-size:medium;">Form a campus organization to educate and get people involved in SE. One such organization is [http://enactus.org/ Enactus]. Take advantage of the opportunities they have to offer by offering contests and hosting conferences and use them to educate your campus. Hold catered talks or pitch competitions with worthwhile prizes. Anything that will get students talking about the possibilities before them and educated about what they can do to make the world a better place is making a difference. Pitch competitions are great because you can bring the problem close to home and have contestants compete to solve a problem on their campus, specifically.</span>
