College CEO Club: Campus Resource Thread (Ask + Share Here)
Use this post as your “campus advantage” hub. Ask anything about finding, accessing, or using campus resources to move your business forward.
Post your question like this (copy/paste):
- School + context: (ex: “state school, commuter, work-study desk job”)
- Goal this week: (ex: “make content,” “get 1 client,” “build portfolio,” “launch Gumroad”)
- What you’ve tried: (2 bullets max)
- What you need: (be specific)
- Your schedule limits: (ex: “Mon/Wed packed, 2 free hours Tue/Thu”)
Common things we can help you find:
- Work-study placements with “productive downtime”
- Free software (Adobe, Microsoft, Google, labs, loaner gear)
- Library databases + research help (market research without guessing)
- Career services (portfolio reviews, LinkedIn/headshots, internships)
- Campus funding (grants, pitch comps, small business centers)
- Spaces + printing (study rooms, makerspaces, podcast/video rooms)
- Mentors (professors, alumni network, entrepreneurship center)
Drop resources you’ve found (help the next person):
- Name of resource + where to find it (website/office)
- What they actually helped you do (real outcome)
- Who it’s best for (creator, freelancer, product seller, etc.)
Mini-challenge (do this today):
- Google: “[Your school] [ center” + “[Your school] library research consultation”
- Screenshot the best page you find
- Comment it + what you’re trying to build
Rules:
- No shame, no gatekeeping. Ask “dumb” questions.
- If you got help here, come back and post what worked.
