How to build a staff-based university program
Staff members from these university institutions are proven natural allies of university programs: libraries, teaching & learning centers, technology & learning centers (they go by different names on different campuses)
Step 1: Identify champion (staff) at university edit
Step 2: Meet with champion and his/her colleagues & supervisor edit
This meeting should aim to reach many more people than just the champion; it is meant to consolidate rapport and secure support from the champion's entire department. An in-person meeting would be ideal.
Step 3: Provide examples from staff at other universities / guidance on how staff can engage in WP activities edit
Step 4: Provide some kind of Wikipedia training edit
- On how Wikipedia works
- On how to edit Wikipedia
- To provide sample presentations and workshop models
