| Too often, we spend time re-creating the wheel
in developing our programs. If anything has been developed in the
years since NCAAW was started, it is that there are now a wide variety
of educational materials and promotional efforts to support campus
campaigns. For example, The BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network
has a very comprehensive set of educational pamphlets, posters, booklet
and videos all targeted specifically for the collegiate audience.
And, this is just the beginning. |
