Raising Program Awareness

Awareness Raising

Keep Public Relations coordinator or appropriate volunteers in your area informed of your activities for publicity purposes so that you can work together to secure coverage for special events or noteworthy projects, using the tools and guidelines referred to in the Awareness Raising Section of this Handbook. Please be sure to send a copy of any resulting media coverage to the appropriate program coordinator.
Encourage students to write Letters to the Editor at some point during their academic year and to make school and other community presentations for International Education Week and at other opportune points during the school year.
Include one meeting at the home office of the U.S. Congressional Representative for your district, allowing the students the opportunity to thank the Congressional Representative for their scholarship.
