DISCUSSION
As a result of this usability research, I am able to make several recommendations that may
help
Greater
Ohio
Policy
Center
increase
its
influence
and
visibility
among
younger
generations.
While
some
nonprofit
organizations
focus
on
feeding
the
hungry
or
sheltering
the
homeless,
Greater
Ohio
Policy
Center
is
a
unique
nonprofit
that
concentrates
on
introducing
policy
reforms
to
truly
affect
change.
Therefore,
I
believe
that
the
way
to
ensure
its
longevity
is
to
simply
extend
their
mission
as
widely
as
possible
throughout
the
state
through
the
spreading
of
ideas.
College
students
are
impressionable,
optimistic,
and
zealous;
they
are
the
ideal
vessel
to
carry
Greater
Ohios
purpose
forward
into
the
next
generation
of
society.
Thus, Greater Ohio Policy Center should consider planting seeds at a university in each of
the
8
Ohio
metropolitan
areas
to
raise
initial
awareness
of
its
purpose
in
Ohio.
It
would
be
most
beneficial
to
target
specific
majors
(i.e.
city
and
regional
planning,
environmental
science,
and
political
science
majors)
on
campus
through
an
informative
lecture
or
an
open
house
booth.
From
there,
Greater
Ohio
may
consider
identifying
a
faculty
member
or
determined
undergraduate
student
who
would
be
interested
in
starting
a
student-led
cohort.
This
student
organizations
purpose
would
be
to
raise
awareness
of
Greater
Ohios
issues
on
campus
and
in
the
surrounding
communities
through
education
and
outreach
initiatives.
I
believe
this
spreading
of
ideas
would
be
enough
ignite
a
shift
in
thought
for
many
of
my
peers
and
ultimately
influence
how
mindful
we
are
of
the
struggles
our
state
faces
and
will
continue
to
face
in
the
future.
organizations.
Whether
it
is
a
digital
presence
or
a
physical
movement,
every
cause
depends
on
its
following
to
transcend
irrelevance.
With
these
recommendations
in
mind,
Greater
Ohio
Policy
Center
has
the
opportunity
to
become
a
champion
in
forward
thinking,
especially
if
it
focuses
on
harnessing
the
passion
and
ideology
of
the
next
generation.
