Spread the Word Member Recruitment Campaign

Each year Campus Representatives participate in ASEE's Spread the Word membership promotion program. Each year a reception is held at ASEE's Annual Conference and Exposition to honor Campus Representatives. At this reception, awards are presented to the Campus Representatives that recruit the highest number of members and those with the highest percentage of faculty who are ASEE members at their institutions. This is ASEE's way of thanking the Campus Representatives for all their hard work recruiting members and helping ASEE commit to further engineering and engineering technology education.
