[nabs-l] Questions to ask when looking to higher a driver.

[Linda Stover]

Rainia,

Is it possible to get a list of students who will be taking the last
class of the evening with you?  My thought was that perhaps you could
approach them, explain your situation, and ask if anyone was
interested in carpooling.  Also, what about putting up flyers on
campus with your contact info and the time you would be leaving your
last class, inquiring if there would be anyone interested, even
someone who was taking another late night class?  These are merely
suggestions, and whether they prove successful or not, I hope they
perhaps get you thinking of other options.
Best of luck,
Courtney
