Perhaps your department used to have a community group, but for whatever reason it's not around any more. This section explains some things you can do to reach out to past committee members and revive what they built!
Ask around the department about the past community. Trace down the main aims, events and people in the past community.
Get in touch with past members! They are incredibly useful to learn about what went wrong and how you can avoid it. This is great for getting wisdom about how you should approach the revival of the community.
Reflect on the information you have just gained. Take a step back and think about what the best approach would be dependent on what you have learnt about the past community.
Use the links below in combination with what you learnt from following the first steps above to get to work on reviving your community.
