Where are the Crossroads on your campus? Do you utilize the Crossroads on your campus?
A Crossroad is defined as, "A road that crosses a main road or joins two main roads.
On a college campus it is where a large number of students pass by each day or congregate. Some obvious examples would be Cafeterias and Food Courts. When I was at ASU, I required each of our staff to eat in the cafeteria each week and we paid for it. One of our one year Assistants one time told me I was wasting my money paying for her to eat there because she did not like the food and did not eat much. I told her I didn't care if she ate anything or not that as far as I was concerned, the food was free and the charge was a ticket to get in and talk to people. She was great at that.
Are there spots on your campus that a large number of students walk by every day? Should you arrange your schedule to be standing there at certain times on particular days? Should you place some sort of A-frame sign there on your event days?
But a caution! If you have signs that you put out that say, "Today" or "Tonight". Take them in when that day is done. When signs like that stay out all the time, students no longer "see" them. They just become a part of the landscape. If they are out, that means they are current and it is happening!
If you have 3 or 4 of these signs, what about moving them around at different times of the day? Oh I know, you are too busy and important to do that, right? Wonder what students you might see and talk to when you are doing it?
What are the times of the day that most students are out on campus? Do you have it in your calendar to be out on campus during that time?
Identify and utilize the crossroads of your campus to affect the lives of students who are at a crossroad in their life!
Walk across the campus and through the Student Center EVERY day!
