Faculty Calling Rap

This is also useful for in person conversations.

Hi, Professor __________? Hi, this is ________ from _______, a student group here on campus. How are you doing today?

Great. I was calling because we’re running a project this quarter to get XXXX students to pledge to vote to create a clean energy economy that can create thousands of new jobs, make America energy independent, and fight global warming.

In particular, we’ve found that educating students about the election and asking them to pledge to vote is one of the best ways to inform students of ways that they can be involved and boost youth voting. I was wondering if we would be able to do two short presentations in your class(es)- the first to recruit students to Power Vote, and later to remind them to vote. It should take 5-10 mins to do so.

If yes:

Great, thanks so much!

Confirm class time, date and location. Ask about size of class if you don’t know it.

Great! I’ll bring more information when we come to make announcements. See you at .

See you soon!
