We will be distributing our class survey next week. In preparation for its release, we will start planning out how we will disseminate it. This worksheet will offer some suggestions for how to organize your outreach.  Fill in at least one contact for communities/people you plan to recruit in each of the five different category rows (e.g, RSOs, College, Department, etc.). Include your table in your write-up.
