Day 6

     Today was a very interesting day. When I came in Amy had me start making phone calls to the organizations on the student list we had been gathering together. She wanted me to use the transcript that I created the day before when speaking to the representative of the organization. The reason why were were calling these student organizations was because we wanted to reach out to them to see if they had heard of National Campus Safety Awareness Month (NCSAM).

     If they had, we wanted to see what activities or events they had participated in and how they went. If they had not, we wanted to get them to sign up for the toolkit that would help them get started if they were interested in participating this year. A lot of the people that I needed to talk to were unavailable so I left messages on the machine. However, some of the people that I got to talk to were really helpful. One conversation I had with a girl was the head of a newspaper who puts their issues in bathroom stalls. That way they have a huge number of readers. She said that if the Clery Center was interested she would be happy to post an article in the paper so that NCSAM could be advertised in that area. I had some other  really good conversations as well and got some good information that will hopefully be used to further NCSAM and make it that much stronger.
