3. Foster communication and cooperation between academic and student development personnel.
4. Have a detailed three-year plan for the events in the series, so as to be able to fold them into Western’s co-curricular transcript goal.
5. Involve individual students of student groups in the planning and funding process.
6. Serve a guaranteed audience of 100-400 individuals per event. Having a plan for
   coordinating with Kristy Hill in marketing to promote the events will strengthen a proposal.
