I've had to postpone my involvement in the program due to school obligations. I had an idea to form a campus locally, so that a small group could get together for dinner ever quarter and to discuss their papers. I'm not on a track to complete the College of Perfection papers any time soon, so shooting for one paper a quarter seems like a good pace for me personally.
I spoke to Bob Davis about forming a campus, and he said there's nothing formal to it: get at least 5 guys together, and agree on dates to meet.
He also said that after your 4th degree paper (your first entry) is accepted, you're given a user name and password to the CotC website so that you can see all the other papers that have been submitted for that degree. Might make for a most useful resource when trying to prepare lodge education programs.
