Priming the Pump


Now that I've had a fair number of current employees register, I need to start looking at ways to build up the applicant database. I'm going to start with college campuses in the DC area, since that's where the majority of current employee pre-registrants work. Some of these schools include Georgetown (where I earned my MA), The George Washington University, American University, Catholic University, George Mason University, Howard University, University of Virginia, University of Richmond, Marymount University, James Madison University, and a few others.

Some helpful resources within each school might include: The Panhellenic Associations and the InterFraternity Councils (which govern greek life on campus), various professional clubs, career services, and good-ol' fashioned flyer-posting. These all sound excellent tasks for my intern(s).

There are also various national and regional governing bodies for both greeks and clubs. Most of them put on conferences where companies can host a booth for between $500-1000. These might be good events to attend in the future.
