MPCC forms Facebook group about aid expansion

The MPCC now has a new tool in its legislative advocacy toolkit — the Facebook group, “Expand aid for Minnesota college students.” People who join this group can keep up on the latest information about need-based aid and what’s happening at the legislature. They can also share their state grant stories, comments, Day at the Capitol photos and videos and more. Although this group was created by MPCC, its need-based aid proposal benefits all college students and anyone can join. Please become a member and help promote this group.

Just follow these steps:

• If you don’t already have a Facebook account, create one at www.facebook.com.
• When you’re signed into Facebook, go to http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=50037170587 to join “Expand aid for Minnesota college students,” or search for this group on the Facebook site.
• Once you’re on the group page, click on the “join this group” link in the right column.
• Once you’ve joined, click on the “Invite friends to join” link in the right column.
• Look for other ways to help promote this group – in campus communications, Legislative Action Network and Day at the Capitol promotion, etc.

Help the MPCC build the membership of this group which supports expansion of need-based aid.
