![Page 28: Sun public relations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5551cd86b4c905922b8b4e7f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Making Your Program Stand Out
• Make an effort to spread the word!
– Talk to staff about GCP
• Table at events
– You never know who
you will meet!
• Have facts readily available
– This gives you credibility
![Page 29: Sun public relations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5551cd86b4c905922b8b4e7f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Interviewing• Campus newspapers and radio shows are a great way
to inform people about GCP
• Have a loose script ready, but don’t memorize everything you want to say word for word
• Relate to the average person who may not know a lot about energy efficiency
• Mention our funders!!!
![Page 30: Sun public relations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5551cd86b4c905922b8b4e7f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Interviewing
• Have a GCP “pitch” ready at all times!

– Wen sent a great elevator pitch as a guide
(Ellie will cover this more!)
*always have business cards with you*
• Make your campus memorable
– Know specific goals/projects that are unique to your campus
– Memorize some facts about past/current projects, such as energy savings and $$ savings.
