This implies: 1) involvement with more issues that affect students, 2) recognition by the faculty in terms of a meaningful role in the decision-making process, and 3) incentive (e.g., better educational experience, interesting issues, academic credit, scholarship aid to compensate for foregone earnings, summer jobs at Harvard, respect) so that hard-working and intelligent students will participate...
