"Benjamin McKean Williams is an innovative educator, consultant, and the Assistant Director of New Student Orientation at Georgia State University. In this interview Ben shares creative ways to fund orientation and activities programs and explains the importance in understanding "the foundation" of sponsorship programs. Ben also explains the benefits of building and maintaining relationships with people who say "NO", as they may eventually become your most generous of supporters. In this interview Jason discovers that Ben loves great white sharks, that he sometimes feels like a "hot mess express", and that we sometimes need to "hit bottom to rise up". Ben is a great resource with tons of great advice. At the core of Ben's sponsorship programs is the desire to find a way to "enhance the student experience" by getting "more money to do cool stuff"!
