Hi my name is (insert name) and I am out here with the (insert senate) chatting
with folks about student senate and textbook affordability. Frankly, students are
sick of paying upwards of $250 for a textbook, especially when there are more
affordable options out there. Personally, I have to make tough choices between
buying my textbooks and affording groceries for that week. Student senate works
on this issue and much more- do you want to make a difference and get
involved? Great! Please sign this senate interest sheet. * If this issue doesn’t interest them chat about what else senate does.
Volunteer ask:
Hey, I am so excited you are interested in senate. We actually have some
volunteer events coming up. Could you attend a faculty meeting on Open
Educational Resources with me next week?
