Starting a Student Energy! Team On your Campus

Foster a student energy team on campus by understanding psychological principles, avoiding manipulation, and incorporating social aspects. Learn how to connect attitudes with behaviors effectively and why top-down mandates and incentives may not work. Embrace a nonmanipulative and cooperative approach that considers the social system. Representatives should resemble the target population and engage in dorm-like activities within the residence hall environment. Utilize preexisting hall structures and involve hall senates, reps, RA's, and house orgs. Encourage socializing and meeting new people to enhance involvement. Emphasize the importance of planning, practicing plans, overcoming barriers, memory, attention, and goal setting. Leverage positive stereotypes and avoid negative ones to encourage engagement. Address other factors like attention, memory, routines, conformity, and assessment to design an effective program based on these principles.
