Zip Watcher Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Instead of the student union, why not have the Rowdies set-up tables inside the main classroom buildings to recruit? I teach in CBA and between classes hundreds of students move in-and-out of the atrium there. They are a captive audience. Also, why not engage the faculty? I would be willing to make announcements in my classes about the goings on of the Rowdies. Many of my colleagues would as well.On a side note, as an alum, professor, and season tx holder, the highlight of any UA event for my family and myself is observing the AkRowdies section. Keep up the great work!!!The only other place I can see a table being set up would be the Polsky building because it is out of the way and there are students who only have classes in there. It would be extremely hard to set tables up in classroom buildings. They would only be busy at class changes, whereas Polsky and SU have students in there at all times. But I think that is a great idea for the faculty to announce events.The Rowdies need to setup a website that is continually updated. It would of course have a link to the Nation. I think that has the potential to keep students more updated then random facebook events and messages (not that those should stop because those are great!)Thanks for bringing that up... thats something else I think needs to be approached is that the AK-Rowdies don't have any kind of a website to operate from. Yes, they have a facebook page, but prospective students need to be able to get information on what the AK-Rowdies are without having to get information from a person. Now more than ever, people use the internet to get their information because its more convenient for them. I really should contact them and see if I can get them to let me design and build a website for them... Attn: Rowdies!Regarding the point above. The Rowdies have a forum here .. it's gone unused for a little while, but the forum is here.The organizers, chiefs, heads or whatever of the Rowdies can be moderators of that forum if they get in touch with one of us here. We created it for Newhouse .. who used it, but since he left .. it's been crickets in there.Also regarding a web page .. the Nation is willing to make this easy: If the Rowdies want to park on ZN.O servers, I'm certain something can be worked out. I'm (pretty sure) I speak for the Moderators & Supporters of ZN.O in saying that we've got a lot of the same objectives. I'm certain that we've got some bandwith and storage space, so the Rowdies wouldn't need to spend a whole lot of coin to get it going.Get a vision together, and bring it to the Nation. We'll help. Really!Go Zips!P.S. My opinion is that the Rowdies are hitting their stride pretty well. There were more than a few occasions at the Q where the Rowdies really impressed. Not just me, but non Zips around me. It was classic when the guy @ the Miami game couldn't hear the song he was supposed to name and the events guy had to tell him. Rowdies are on the upswing, and it's up to you returning folks to keep it going & improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeDude Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 We have been looking for someone to make us a website. There were a couple of options we had this year and we were not able to take them because of high price or not what we were looking for. Does that mean we are giving up on making a website? Not at all. We are just trying to find the right fit.The new president will be annouced sometime next week. The election process is set to begin next monday. You will all know soon enough who the new board members will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will all know soon enough who the new board members will be.I would be more than willing to work in collaboration with the AK-Rowdies and the admins here at ZipsNation to create a new AK-Rowdies website. I've got quite a bit of experience doing website development, and a lot of free time this summer, so I'd definitely be game for this.
