I really like the idea of using UCD as a pilot. I'm beginning my grad degree here in Jan after my 2 BAs are done, so I'm pretty much a permanent resource. Plus we have Harv, and that's where I was introduced to REDI.

John, if you remember, there was myself and another student, Jason (blonde guy), who were adament in getting involved with REDI, and I have another class with him this semester. Its only once a week, already passed, so its too late to get him in on the next meeting, plus we don't use online tools for that class, so I don't have his email, but its a good start. I also have a political thought class with other young idealists looking for an outlet to funnel their ambitions. Snatching them up might prove very useful for us.

I'll gather as much info on other student orgs John asked me about for the meeting. I wonder does Norman have wireless, because they are all available on www.cudenver.edu under current students?

I agree, David, that we don't need to use resources that cost money to attract this population. All levels at this school are looking to become involved, espically locally now with our growing regional economy. Plus, as students, we don't expect much, except to make an impact.

That was kind of a long way of saying, I agree. These are great ideas. As I was in the Career Center, looking to satisfy my internship requirements from volunteer activities for REDI, the only thing my counselor said was if the meetings are NOT held at private residences, but a coffeeshop or board room, then UCD is an open market for REDI. Hmmm, maybe for the get involved link on the REDI site there could be a small graphic that says, "UCD students: satisfy your internship requirements with REDI" I know half of my colleagues complain how incomplete and uninteresting their internships are.

Okay I'm on NED, works much better than SKYPE. Sorry about the poor spelling; I'm a product of spell check.
