Re: Starting a FIRST Alumni Association

G3 (gixxy) had a similar situation at LA Tech in Ruston, at least a half an hour from the nearest FRC team. He did manage some programming mentor support his freshman year, but afterwards, he could not even establish solid comms with the team. He went on to become an officer in on-campus organizations (including American Computing Machinery and Society of Cyber Engineering), and competing in on-campus competitions (captain of a victorious cyber storm team).
That is, try to work with what already exists where you are. If that fails, and you can identify some kindred souls, then you may want to start something new.
