- Evening lectures allow for time - faculty members 

- get RSO to come to divisional meetings to talk about grants/scholarships, etc. 

- Have academic programming areas take over BBLs. Have a small committee that organizes it 1-2 per month. 

-Research showcase in summer/winter  - both for YRC and faculty researchers.

-Resurrect newspaper column

-better incorporation of outreach into workloads
