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.

>> I can flyer the CDM building. I can get some students flyer the science and humanities but it would be a big waste of time. They are on a different campus, away from us, and there is very little interaction between them and CDM. They have never attended out events. Statistically those populations are insignificant compared to the number and the level of engagement of CDM students.
