This document discusses using state management strategies to increase engagement on college campuses. It asserts that an individual's state determines their outcome, and that the average state of a group determines the group's outcome. It recommends leaders focus on building relationships, matching others' states, and finding common ground to influence states positively. Mixing up individuals and creating "blenders" can gently increase engagement. The goal is to increase the overall average level of campus engagement through creative means like "pattern interrupts." Building a base social group, acting as a "spatula" to others, running blenders, and using social networks are some specific strategies suggested.
