Here are just some ideas for getting your programs off on the right foot. You will likely find much more in our forums.
1. Complete all paperwork in a timely fashion.
2. Turn in the funding request form at least one day in advance. If you want money on a Monday, be sure to turn in the form on Friday.
3. Advertise! If people don't know your're having a program no one will ever come. Find different ways to advertise and try to combine different ways to advertise together. Residents often become poster blind very quickly and won't even notice your college rule paper on the bathroom door.
4. Have fun! It's true you shouldn't program to what you want to do, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun with your program.
5. Always remember that programming is a vehicle and not a destination. You should always ask how your program is going to benefit your floor or building community.
