Ideas for College Campus Resource Development: A Few Suggestions from Mary Cunningham Agee

Thank you for considering how Nurturing Network's simple but highly effective "Clustering" process might be a resource for you in identifying and motivating potential new Volunteers in campus communities near you. I hope that these suggestions will serve as a helpful starting point for encouraging your participation in this vital outreach. We have found that this "Clustering" process and the administrative support offered by our professional Staff make it easier for busy people to offer their gifts with greater ease.

• Our Clustering materials include several well-written articles along with Guidelines for Cluster Coordinators, a 15-minute motivational talk appropriate for small group presentations and camera ready artwork for church bulletins and local newspapers. We also have audio -video material, a "Dear Friends for Life " motivational flyer that we can provide in quantity and at no cost as well as a new college poster if these resources would be helpful to you.
  
  
• In order that students on the campuses in your area are fully aware of our Network's program of support, you may want to contact key administrators and faculty members and encourage staff members at the student health center to maintain a supply of our brochures in the reception area.
  
  
• You may know of others, pastors or lay leaders in the campus faith community or leaders of a student pro-life organization who would appreciate having an invitation to become more familiar with and join our life-saving efforts. If you are in a position to facilitate the inclusion of a link from the campus website to TNN's web site, please don't hesitate to let us know. This resource is a wonderful outreach especially to college students in need of our support.
  
  
• In the hope that you may be able to encourage the inclusion of Nurturing Network information in the orientation packets provided for each incoming student, Our Clustering Packet includes a comprehensive one-page description of our services that other institutions have found to be helpful for this purpose. We can make this information piece available in any quantity and at no cost thanks to the ongoing generosity of our donors.
  
  
• University students and friends within many campus communities are developing plans to speak about our organization to students or resident advisors in campus living groups. I mention each of these possibilities to let you know that there are many options available that you can choose from as you strengthen life-saving apostolate on campus.
  
  
• I have found that institutions of higher learning that are truly committed to providing more choices for their women students find our Network to be an important resource for their students. Colleges such as Notre Dame University, Boston University, Catholic University of America, Bryant College, Stanford, Boston College, Creighton University, Texas Tech University and University of Detroit, to mention just a few, are part of our Educational Network.
  
  
• Please share our Educational Guidelines and Questionnaire with someone in the administration or on the faculty and invite them to complete and return this form along with a copy of the current catalog. This brief Questionnaire is a helpful resource in fully understanding the support that a college is most comfortable offering. Please assure anyone completing this application that they would not be expected to admit any woman who did not meet their normal admission standards. Our network membership includes a wide variety of academic institutions thereby enabling us to meet the differing interests and abilities of our clients.
