Promoting FIRST in college: an idea

Posted by colleen, Student on team #126, Gael Force, from Clinton High School and Nypro.

i'm a senior this year, and all this talk from Dean about starting teams when we go off to college, and from alumni on this page has got me thinking of exactly how i can get the college i will attend as interested in FIRST as all of us are and see exactly what benefits it will provide.
here's one of my ideas: (what if?) all colleges that are currently participants (DWC, WPI, Northeastern, etc.) have a member of their college staff write a general letter explaining the benefits FIRST has brought to their school. For example, has it caused many of those kids to apply to that school, increased enrollment in their engineering program, given postive promotion to their schools as a whole- whatever FIRST has done for them. One college seeing however another gains from the program is more likely to influence them than one student saying how incredibly awesome it really is.
It seems to me that kids are more likely to join if other kids say they like it; more business are likely to partner up if a current sponsor talks to them about the benefits, so why wouldn't it work if one college could communicate to another?
what's everybody think? ask college each college rep. to write a general letter, and make it available to all teams and people, esp. us soon to be college freshman, to help them start new FIRST teams with schools.
