How Does the Hill Cope?

Inundated with emails, short-staffed and subject to high turnover, how do current Congressional offices manage the information overload and respond to your requests?  What is the most effective way to make an impact and cut through the noise?  Hear about original research to help answer these questions, and walk you through tips on “storytelling”—the most effective approach you can use to advocate for your students and institution.
