Another thought I meant to include with my original post:
These reflections/experiences have also led me to believe that, all else equal, EA groups at colleges are more valuable than ones at grad schools. Anecdotally, One For The World college chapters were much more successful on average than HLS’s, despite HLS grads’ higher earning potential. My model is that many people adopt the sort of EA-skeptical progressive worldview described here in college, which makes outreach in grad schools harder.
I think making EA a viable alternative or complement to which college students are exposed during their formative years would be very valuable for this.
Not sure how helpful this is, but grad schools typically move more money (certainly per pledger/per student/per class etc. and often in naive terms). We have no idea yet of the long term changes in attitudes/actions and how those relate to school-type.
Also FWIW someone just started raising OFTW pledges at HLS and is absolutely crushing it—about $20k/annum of pledges in about a fortnight!

Thanks for the mention :-)

Ah great, very happy to hear about the broader success. Seems like the causes may have been more local to my approach while leading HLSEA.
