[Campus-depaul-staff] Science outreach

How far away is the other campus?  And how much smaller is it than CDM?

OpenHatch is very interested in reaching out to non CS majors, both because
those students can definitely benefit from learning about the FLOSS
community but also being FLOSS needs non-CS majors.  We have had a lot of
success in the past reaching out to non-CS students.  That said, if CS
students at DePaul are geographically isolated it may make sense to
concentrate our efforts on CDM students.
