In Tallahassee. With FSU, FAMU, TCC, and a couple of private for profit colleges, they had a big pool of people to go after. They were working at the beginning of fall semester for all of those - a much larger group of new to town people than would be found this time of year. At the height of their efforts they were registering something like 50 people a day.

I think a lot of the problem right now is the time of year. When do the terms run at your college?

I agree, and I'm surprised GOTV didn't consider this ProudLib72 May 2018 #13
