What is Drive to Strive? • Purpose of Drive to Strive is to promote continued, consistent funding for all of Penn State, including the Commonwealth Campuses • Signatures are collected in support of said consistent funding • Drive to Strive is a program that is unique to CCSG because it involves all of the Commonwealth Campuses. |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |
Capital Day • Capital Day is an event sponsored by the PSU Grassroots Network that occurs late March. • Takes place in Harrisburg at the Capital Complex • Opportunity to meet with your local and regional legislators • Discussion of consistent funding for PSU and campuses • Alan Janesch, Director of the PSU Grassroots Network • Truly an invaluable resource |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |

Petition Signatures • DTS signatures can come from anybody within your campus community – students, faculty, staff, community members • While you have the petition on your Commonwealth Campus, take it with you to on and off campus events – every signature is a great thing and truly means a lot • Going off campus, collecting signatures at area businesses and residences • In doing so, be respectful to the property owners, you are a rep of the University and CCSG • Go in a group of two or three, take some binder sheets and explain what Drive to Strive is in a nutshell. |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |
Driving the signatures • Logistics may prevent the “driving” of the signatures to the Commonwealth Campuses • Ex. A foot or two of snow hitting one of the campuses • This happened last year • If this happens, please consult with me and I will work with you • Each campus will have the binder for roughly a week to two weeks. |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |
Signature goals • 20,000 signatures for this year • This is a really far goal, but with your support, I’m certain we can reach and break this goal • Thoughts? |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |
Scheduling • All attempts to schedule dates when your campus will have the binder will work out with your campus calendar in all ways possible. • Flexibility is good, however there are 20 plus campuses this has to get to. • Planned binder distribution start is now and will end around March (Capital Day) |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |
What we need from you • Communication is key to making this a success • Make sure to carefully read your emails and respond to them and/or any phone calls or text messages. • If something should go wrong with anything pertaining to Drive to Strive, I need to be informed so I can provide a successful resolution. |Facebook: @TheCCSG | Twitter: CCSG_PSU | Instagram: CCSG_PSU | Website: www.psuccsg.org |
