This could involve leveraging social media platforms, organizing open forums, engaging in direct communication with students, and ensuring that their campaign materials clearly articulate their plans and the impact of these plans on the university. Additionally, fostering personal connections through meet-and-greet sessions or participatory events could further build trust and familiarity among potential voters .
