10 Reasons Why You Should Be Using CampusReform.org

Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the only people using the Leadership Institute's Campus Reform website. Maybe I am -- I really don't know. It's often ignored and underappreciated, so I am here to convince you that you should try it out as well. 

1. Training. Whether it’s for publications, campus elections or anything else, you can find it on this website.

2. Connect with student activists from your school. For example, here is the page for my school, the University of Washington. It’s in my school's lovely colors of purple and gold and I can network with other campuses, write blog updates about what’s happening at school, post local events and create a group just for our YAL chapter.

3. Each region has a campus services coordinator who can assist you in finding training. I know I can speak for many chapters in saying they know what they’re doing and are a good resource to tweak good ideas and make them great. The Western Region’s coordinator, Michael, helped us come up with the idea for our counter-strike against socialism.

4. When you are on your school’s page, there is a Conservative Jobs newsfeed in the corner that tells you of opportunities in your area.

5. As my close friends and family know, I often partake in a good rant about my professors. Save your loved ones' sanity and rant on the website instead

6. Look up textbooks or rate them. 

7. Links to legal organizations and policy groups are listed by state. This can be a good resource when planning an event or looking for more local information. 

8. The site lists activism ideas that you may not have heard about from YAL.

9. Need help promoting your event? Check out Campus Reform’s publicity resources.

10. There are activism projects that can sometimes result in you winning money and other prizes for your chapter. 

No, you're not alone; I often use campusreform.org as well. I mentioned it once in an article I wrote for my college newspaper and they have even posted some of my past articles (here and here). Anyway, I agree, CampusReform.org is a great tool that more student activists should ultilize.
