We have never really systematized relationships with the colleges --- only
organized incidentally around specific actions. Eli Cohen (who is on the
outreach list) is our main contact for this.
I agree that it's a project for outreach --- also agree that "outreach" has
shifted a lot, and continues to do so, and that before taking on a big new
project, we should do a gathering of the minds across WGs and come up with
a long-term strategic plan. At the moment, there's not enough of us to
really cover territory in a meaningful way, lots of groups are doing
outreach in an ad hoc manner, no real long-term strategy for how we want to
grow the movement and evolve.
There's lots of space to imagine how to do that, of course -- but first I
think there's some groundwork and community-building that needs to happen
within OB to really outline strategy and bring people into this effort
before we go into anything long-term.
best,
katie
