What Worked For Us
 Ask hard questions about the value of what
you’re currently doing
 Balance process and action
 Be a resource (or a matchmaker)
 Find and nurture great partners
 Build on the prior year
 Keep swinging
 “Everyone else is doing it”

What Was Difficult for Us
(at least initially)
 Press conferences can be a lot of work
 Missed groundwork with key student groups
 Remembering that “all publicity is good”
 Balancing multi-site research plan with
reality of our community

What is Difficult Now
 Fewer problems – people moving on to
other issues
 Fighting the stereotypes; getting people to
believe the data
 Keeping it fresh

Final Advice from The Great One
(not me – Wayne Gretzky)

 “You miss
100% of the
shots you
never take.”
