In an appropriate "credit card size" or "bookmark" format I think this can be very effective, and can also direct students to our website.Hazelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259578163162335970.post-32140548758863965432010-06-04T14:11:41.000+01:002010-06-04T14:11:41.000+01:00I have an idea Stuart.

Electronic and print based publicity are great, but I think it is always great to get out there in person. This is done via the roadshow to great effect, but I was thinking of other things to make us more approachable, a little bit cooler and break down any barriers to interaction. <br>This 'dating' could be an open event with a representative from each team and just having a chat for 2-3 mins. Yes it is short, and yes, can't be effective in addressing the issue raised. However, this could be a good way to interact with others that are harder to reach, promote our existance and provide some inspiration, motivation and cofidence within that time. Plus, it's a different appraoch and could be good fun. A wacky idea you might think, but it could be amazing.
