Aloha Judy,

  Attached is the summary of commitments made by students so far.  The Fellows did an amazing job of handing out 416 braceletes!

WCC-77

HCC-62

KCC-177

We purposefully didn't hand all of them out at KCC since LCC's booth had to be cancelled due to election day on Tues Nov 6, which we didn't realize was a school holiday. You can see all the commitments so far in the attached xls file.  Interestingly, at every campus SIP (using a refillable water bottle) and SWITCH IT (turning off the lights) were the top 2 selections by a landslide.  These will be good stats to add to our quiz cards next semester.  

The Fellows have done an amazing job, they created a huge buzz at each campus with non-stop groups of students stopping at the booth.  Their best opener was "Excuse me, are you a student."  Then when they said yes the Fellows said "do you have a couple minutes" and the students almost always said yes!  I had suggested offering a free bracelet, but no one responded to that. Instead their approach worked despite my doubts . They came up with it themselves and it worked every time!  It was great to watch.

Alex is drafting an email to send in follow up to all the students since many asked to see their commitments and receive a link to the facebook!  So we are going to send the whole list without the email addresses once it is finalized, per our 'poster' idea of posting all the committed students.  I will share with you before I send for feedback, but I think this has been a HUGE success.

Thanks Judy!
