    matters that are crucial to their well-being.

Networking
  • We have created strong contacts with school
    officials.
  • We have talked to most existing clubs
  • Now there are 7 major clubs and 5 departments
    maintaining forum pages on QcPlanet.

10
A list of school officials we have established
contact with
  • Vice President of Provost, the chief academic
    officer of Queens College
  • Vice President of the Office of Converging
    Technologies (O.C.T.)
  • Web Master of Queens College Official Site
  • Director of Queens College Weekend Colllege
  • Director of Queens College Student organization
    and Service
  • President or Vice president of individual Club in
    Campus
  • Director of Institutional Research

11
Advertising
  • Put posters around campus.
  • Word of mouth marketing
  • We set the homepages of machines in computer labs
    in campus to www.qcplanet.com (Sneaky! I know.)

12
Some roadblocks we have met and eventually
cleared.
  • Early stages of the site building was quite
    difficult even to the graduate students in
    computer science of our group.
  • We lost all the data due to a power failure on a
    private server. In order to ensure security in
    the future, we now pay to have the website
    running on a third party hosting server.
  • Most of us are full-time students and working
    part-time, the hours needed to pull this project
    off posed a real challenge to our time management
    skill.

13
Difficulties we still facing
  • Lack of membership and content.
  • Some founding members are leaving (graduating).

14
Long term strategies to overcome these
difficulties
  1. Engage in even more aggressive ad-campaigns.
  2. Make use of the network we created this semester.
  3. Organize CLIQ point events in the fall.
  4. Apply for funding so our future members do not
    have to pay out of their own pocket for
    maintenance of the site.

15
Conclusion
  • We wish that more students will make use of
    www.qcplanet.com to enhance their lives in Queens
    College, that students in this commuter school
    will feel ever more like one community, and that
    the site we put so much effort and time in will
    still be in existence years down the road.
