When you finally found the one that would help you, you can send an email to that person if their email address is written on their bio. Unless you find any contact information, you can simply click on the [http://universityinnovation.org/index.php?title=Talk:How_to_utilize_your_UIF_network_from_neighboring_universities&action=edit&redlink=1 Discussion]tab. That tab will lead you to a page titled “Talk: Fellow’s Name and Surname”, you can write there and ask for help. If that fellow didn’t see what you wrote, you can ask former and more experienced Innovation Fellows to introduce you to the fellow you would like to speak with. Again you could use the map to see other people on campus who may know the fellow of interest.

To keep the connections (and grow them) stay in contact. Add them on social media. It’s formal enough to not invade on the person’s life and casual enough to be friends. Social media is a big help when connecting to other campuses. Social media campaigns generate notoriety for projects and people. The fellows running the platforms can market to other fellows and campuses. Using social media platforms to build portfolios, forums, and ultimately a community can provide insight and “at-a-glance” information. Fellows can read this and easily reach out. If a community forum is utilized a user base of members can be built for fellows and ideas and collaboration can spread in all directions. This is not a one way street like a facebook page that is always promoting outwards. The community forum is more intimate and keeps the focus on what is popular on all ends.
