Hi everyone,
I'm the new Regional Ambassador the DC Region, I'll be overseeing the Campus Ambassador http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Ambassador_Program program and working towards furthering Wikimedia's relationships with higher education institutions through the District only. (Not Virginia or Maryland) I'm putting together a list of potential professors (anyone teaching is welcome, including PhD students) to work with for our Fall 2011 semester. And of course, we're always looking for those interested in being Campus Ambassadors (you /do not/ have to be a student!).
I just wanted to send out a quick email to poke your brains about any professors that you think might be worth reaching out too. We are now seeking to expand our relationships /outside /of the Public Policy sector, and into all arenas of higher education.
I am seeking potential relationships with people at the following institutions:
* George Washington University * American University * The Catholic University * Corcoran College of Art and Design * Gallaudet * Georgetown (we do have relationships here, but always happy to expand!) * Howard University * University of DC
I also know we have the Wesley Theological Seminary, I haven't quite tossed around this idea yet, but, any contacts is grand.
Feel free to email me directly, or I suppose post it here if you'd like, and /thank you!/
