Contacting International Students with Sumin

I don't know if anyone even reads this blog anymore. I doesn't really matter... I just had to get this down. Sumin is from Korea and she is the dream contact maker. She laughs at me when I try to do it because Im so bad at it. She is a shy lady, but give her some fliers and a clipboard and she becomes a super power extrovert.

Here is my guess at what Sumin would say are the rules of contacting:

1. Don't let any international student get past you.

2. Greet them with a loud and friendly 'Hello!!! Im ____' (Try to sound like they are your best friend).

3. If you are chatting to your contacting parter and a student walks by, stop your conversation and go after the student.

4. If your partner lets a student go past him, yell at him to make contact with them even if you are in the middle of a contacting another international student.

5. When someone keeps walking past you, after you've introduced yourself, catch up with them, and walk alongside them to finish your invitation (preferably so close you brush arm).

6. Be friendly and cute. Pretend you didn't realise that they are not interested.

7. Even if the student doesn't sound interested in your group, ask them if they want to give you their contact information.

8. If you meet someone you haven't seen in years, say hello to them and get their contact details down too.

9. If you meet someone who hasn't been seen at FOCUS in some time, ask them if they're coming tonight.

10. End your conversation with 'see you tonight!' (loudly).
