At the University of Minnesota, we started off 4 years ago by recruiting teams via contacting all of the student groups on campus. We then reached out and contacted each residence hall and apartment building to encourage them to form teams, and we've also started to reach out to Greek organizations to encourage fraternities and sororities to participate. We really tried to get a contact on our planning committee from each of these outlets so we weren't outsiders coming into their meetings, but rather an insider who wanted something good for their group. Residence halls and apartments have become our biggest supporter when we've gotten the staff involved there. It can become a year round thing that brings their hall community together.

After awhile, it has become tradition. We focus mostly on team recruitment but also maintaining our original teams. I would say the best bet is to form a team recruitment committee that focuses on attending meetings for student groups, greeks, residence halls, and any health related organization on campus to ask for a team committment. Don't be fooled into thinking that only students and faculty in the health fields care about cancer prevention and detection, but they are a good starting point.

Make sure you push online fundraising and registration - college students live off of their computers.
