Train them and pass along some of their work > Attendances are terrible: students weren’t surveyed about what they really want >> survey the student/ work with school department.

1 New Initiative For ASCC Survey the students We used to ask during the AS meeting about the feedback after the events. So AS members and students who were in the meetings can give feedback. Survey the students during the events, ask about their feedback and suggestions on the events, and get to know their expectations for future improvement. Get to know what students want, instead of what student government want

What I Will Incorporate in My Work with ASCC From the Conference Be aware the necessity of using different communicating methods when talking to different people so as to make the communication more effective.
