10 Easy Steps to Project Graduation Success
 1.
Ask for permission. Contact your college officials/administrators for
permission to implement Project Graduation on your campus.
2. Enroll your chapter. Confirm your commitment by filling out the enrollment
form at the Project Graduation web site
3. Get organized. Appoint a Project Graduation leader and begin recruiting
volunteers and other campus organizations, faculty, and staff.
4. Develop a plan. Hold your first Project Graduation team meeting to
create a detailed timeline and delegate projects and jobs such as: distributing
posters; contacting the local media, campus newspaper and other publication,
radio, and TV; inserting promotional material into graduation mailings and graduation
packets; and contacting local service agencies that will receive the donations.
5. Coordinate with the graduation committee. Talk to your college administration/graduation
committee about having Project Graduation flyers inserted
into the mailings to graduating students.
6. Identify the donation recipients. Decide which service agencies in
your community will receive the donations. You may need to contact more than
one agency depending on their needs.
7. Designate drop-off sites. Plan strategic drop-off locations at the
graduation ceremony in highly visible areas.
8. Contact the local media. Provide your local newspaper, television
station(s) and the radio station(s) with a Project Graduation
media release.
9. Conduct a final meeting. Hold one last meeting before the big day
so that everyone knows his/her responsibilities. Possible jobs include: manning
the donation boxes; taking photos of the event for publicity; taking donations
to the receiving agencies; and talking to area reporters.
10. Report your results. As a part of your commitment to this project,
please do not forget to fill out the Success
Form telling us about the results of your Project Graduation event. This
information is pertinent to the continued success of Project Graduation. Also,
please send special photos and newspaper clippings to Phi Theta Kappa Headquarters,
c/o Project Graduation, 1625 Eastover Drive, Jackson, MS 39211.
