Why Does This Matter? We are the Sanford Inspire Program. Our mission is to inspire others to value and pursue the profession that we believe in. We also want to connect with as many students as possible in the hopes that they will share our story with their peers.

Steps for Securing Course or Organization Presentations - The Institute of Learning

Overview of the Process  Identify the courses or student organizations where you would like to present  Use template to professors or leaders to ask for permission  Log the names of contacts in Google Docs  Review your speech and tailor it to that specific group  Send a reminder to the professor about your upcoming visit  Execute your presentation  Log your presentation and notes in the Google Doc  Give student information cards to your CM  Send Thank You to professor or leader

Identifying Courses for Presentations  Access the Faculty Allies Google Doc to find a list of course where you might want to present.  Courses are sorted by campus and times and dates are listed.*  Tabs that say EH are courses that are offered in the Teachers College to all ASU students.  Tabs that say LL are all the general education, lower level courses.  The final tab is a master list of all the courses we will find throughout the document.

Identifying Organizations for Presentations  Access the ASU Clubs and Organizations Google Doc to find a list of courses you might want to present to.  Organizations are sorted by campus and times and dates are listed.*  There is a tab for culturally focused groups.  There is a tab for Greek Life, this includes all types of sororities and fraternities.  If you are in a club or organization, this should automatically be yours. These should be some of the first groups you present to.

ing Professors and Leaders  Use the template provided to professors and student leaders.  If you know the professor or student leader you can be less formal and more personal, but still professional.  It is best to between 7 to 10 professors and leaders at once. them at least 2 weeks before you want to speak. You won’t hear back from them all at the same time.  Make sure you do not attempt to meet with more than one group at the same time.  If you do not hear back from the professor within 3 days, forward the initial with a polite follow-up message.  What might you say in your ?

Logging in Google Docs  Once you send the to professors or leaders:  HIGHLIGHT the row for that person you ed on the appropriate Google Doc in YELLOW.  Put your initials in the CCC INITIALS column.  Put the date you sent the in the DATE column.  Once you’ve presented, highlight the yellow row GREEN.

Reviewing and Tailoring Your Speech  Before you go to present to the class or organization:  Identify any points you should focus on (i.e. math, science, minority groups, social justice, etc.) based on the group for which you are presenting.  Read through your speech and tailor it for that specific group.  Identify what you will be driving students to at that particular presentation (i.e. meetings with a CM, info sessions, etc.).

Reminding Professors and Leaders  Before you go to present to the class or organization :  with a reminder a day or two in advance (also notify your CM of any presentation schedule changes).  State in your reminder the date and time you will be there and thank them again in advance for allowing you to present.  You do not need to log that you sent the reminder, but it is ALWAYS an expectation.  Schedule when you need to send these in your calendar or planner.

Executing Your Presentation  Arrive early and list any relevant information on the whiteboard (i.e. name, , event info, etc.).  Be sure to shake professor or leader’s hand and thank them again personally and publicly when you begin speech.  Hand out student information cards and have students complete these. Tell them you need to collect information on every student you meet with but they will not be contacted unless they check the “follow up” box.  Bring and leave plenty of “leave behind info.” Give extra to the professor or leader.

Logging Leads  Enter your student info card information into the Prospect Contacts Google Doc within 3 days of your presentation.  Gather student info cards from Student Ambassadors once a week and enter the information within 3 days of receipt.  Give student info cards to CM during your check-in.

Thanking Professors and Leaders  Send a Thank You to the professor or leader you presented to within 24 hours of your presentation.  Follow the template but also consider adding personal touches.  Example: If the professor told you about another course they teach, about their path to education, etc. mention something about that in the Thank You.  Example: If a student leader told you they have an event coming up, wish them luck.
