  * '''Resource recruitment and client deployment'''. This involves several activities: working with the campus IT department, and with other units that manage campus desktops and PC labs, to install BOINC on as many PCs as possible; working with dormitory IT management to encourage its deployment on student PCs; creating PR events, such as competitions between student groups to contribute the most computing power; and working with alumni organizations to publicize the project and encourage the participation of alumni home PCs. This function also includes publicity, via mass media, campus media, and Internet channels such as periodic emails to volunteer participants.
