#RAPPTaughtMe and Other Ways to Promote RAPP XXIX

We're in the last few weeks of getting together RAPP XXIX!  From analyzing information provided by RAPPers over the past five years, we know that word-of-mouth is consistently the most important thing to getting people to join a RAPP intensive.

Here are easy ways to be a part of that!

#RAPPTaughtMe
Use this hashtag on Facebook or Twitter!  Share something that you learned through your RAPP experience and share this link to the program applications:  www.uc.edu/sald/rapp/9month.html

Participate in On-Campus Promotions
Join us at any of the following events - it helps to wear a RAPP shirt, but isn't necessary:
  • Chalking McMicken Commons, Tuesday, August 27th, 12:30PM-2:30PM, chalk provided – we chalk messages about RAPP all over McMicken Commons’ sidewalks 
  • Hispanic Student Welcome, Thursday, August 29th, 5PM-7PM, Mick & Mack’s Café, wear a RAPP shirt & talk about RAPP – all of campus is invited to this welcome event 
  • Asian Student Welcome, Friday, August 30th, 5PM-7PM, TUC Great Hall, informational table – all of campus is invited to this welcome event 
  • LGBTQ Meet ‘n’ Greet, Thursday, September 5th, 5PM-7PM, LGBTQ Center (565 Steger), wear a RAPP shirt & talk about RAPP – all of campus is invited to this welcome event 
  • Akwaaba Black Student Welcome, Sunday, September 8th, 4PM-7PM, TUC Great Hall, informational table – all of campus is invited to this welcome event
Share a Video
RAPP has several videos series available online - pick a favorite and share it with the application link www.uc.edu/sald/rapp/9month.html:
Wear a RAPP Shirt
Our shirts are known to generate questions and conversations!  From "why are there two Ps?" to "what's that mean?" to "I love that quote!" people often start conversations over the shirt.  Simply engaging in that discussion is a great way to spread the word about RAPP!

Class Announcements
Ask your instructor if you can talk about RAPP in a class.  Rebecca will give you handouts and pens to give out - and will come with you if you want!
