Missing Major Pilot Project: What worked effectively Speaking to different groups on campus. This worked out great for creating awareness and giving students an overview of the MissingMajor website and the resources available. Table events worked well in generating interest and creating awareness about MissingMajor.com. Giveaways and event location are the most important factors for effective table setups. Giveaways were very effective in drawing students to the setups. Contacting faculty and staff members to help spread information about the website

Missing Major Pilot Project: Improvements for next college promotion  T-shirts for giveaways. Students are always drawn to free giveaways.  More event sponsorships with student groups.  Student reps. Hiring a student to work during the semester in conjunction with the career center would be the most effective method.  Focus on faculty/staff contacts. Educating the faculty and staff on each campus will be the most effective method for creating awareness among the student population.  Online methods to generate awareness. Myspace or Facebook are always helpful in supporting a promotional campaign.  Multi faceted promotions. Selecting a few campuses to carry out additional promotional activities, such as tent setups, official group sponsorships, giveaways, and participation in other campus activities.
