Operator Exchange
Member boards sharing what works, what does not and what they wish they had known, through meetups and online sessions.
The problem
Running a campus board can be lonely work. Operators are usually students who handle posts late at night, make judgement calls on their own and rarely meet anyone else doing the same job. Every year, experienced operators graduate and take what they learned with them, and the next team rediscovers the same lessons the hard way.
Our approach
Operator Exchange connects people who run member boards so that experience is shared rather than lost. It runs in two formats. In-person meetups in Fuzhou give operators a chance to meet, compare notes and build trust. Online sessions make it possible to join from anywhere, including schools outside the city and operators with busy timetables.
The sessions are practical. Operators bring real situations, with names and identifying details removed, and talk through how they handled them. What comes up often feeds back into the Campus Board Guidelines, so one board’s hard lesson becomes everyone’s shared knowledge. Nobody is expected to present or to have the right answer; listening is a perfectly good way to start.
How to take part
- Join a meetup in Fuzhou when one is announced.
- Join online if you cannot travel or prefer to listen first.
- Share a case: a difficult post, a busy week, a handover that went well or badly.
- Bring a newer teammate, so knowledge passes on before you graduate.
Sessions are announced on our WeChat official account and official QQ. Member boards are welcome to suggest topics, and boards that are not yet members can contact us to find out how to join.
No one should have to run a campus board alone.
