1. Make sure they know who you are. If you have not met the person or persons that work with student organizations/religious groups, make an appointment and go see them. If you are new on that campus, ask about any rules or concerns you should know.
2. When you have an appointment or meeting with a University Official, dress professionally. You don't have to wear a coat and tie or Sunday dress, but this is not the time for gym shorts or ragged jeans. Like it or not, your appearance affects how they see and perceive you.
3. Be a team player. If something is beneficial to students and you can help in some way, do so. Some College Ministers even volunteer to help fill packets, etc for Freshmen Orientations.
4. If one of them invites you to an official event, GO. It demonstrates you are interested in the school as a whole. Plus, you never know who you might meet at the event and how that might benefit the view of your ministry on campus. Plus, they are more likely to be helpful to someone they know and see as a partner or equal professional.
5. Play by campus rules. When you violate campus rules or policies, you not only do harm to your ministry, but the reputation of all Christian ministries on campus. You may have been hampered by what some other group did even before you arrived on campus.
Breaking campus rules will always bite you and your ministry......whether you know it or not!
