5 Steps to Back-to-School Success

Pencil.jpg

School is back in session! By now you may have held your first Ed on Campus chapter meeting, but you may still be struggling to get your ideas off the ground. Don’t worry—Ed’s got your back. Take these steps to get things moving.

1. Put yourself out there. The key to a successful chapter is, well, people! Market your group through on campus fairs, newsletters, and media outlets. Ask campus officials if your officers can speak about the group at introductory journalism classes. The main goal? Work it—and watch your membership grow.

GET INVOLVED!

Start Your School's Chapter

Dying for some Ed love at your school? Well, our chapters don’t spring up without the gumption of Edsters like yourself. Ed is happy to spread the love around but needs your help. Send him a note if you’re interested in finding out how to bring an Ed on Campus chapter to your school.

EVENTS

Fall Virtual Resume Workshop

Hey there, EOC chapter presidents! Ed knows that the semester’s just kicked off, but it’s never too early to polish your résumé! The deadline for fall critiques is Oct. 15, and Ed’s changing things up just a bit, so he wants you all to be ready.

NEW: When you send in your chapter’s documents to be reviewed, you must also submit proof that someone in your school’s career center has already looked over all of them. Even though the staff there may not know specifics about magazines, they will be able to give your members super-important tips on organization and formatting (e.g. that it should fit on one page!). When you submit your chapter’s files, please also send either a signed PDF letter on university letterhead or have them e-mail sarah@ed2010.com directly. Either way, please have them include the semester (Fall 2010) and names of the students whose résumés they reviewed. Ed knows it’s an extra step, but he promises it’ll be worth it in the end.
