Student Life - Leadership Resources
Programming
Putting on fun, successful, or even crazy events can be easy.
The secret is to be creative, use your ideas and pay attention
to details. Here are just a few possible event ideas to get those
creative juices flowing!
- Hold a Services Fair involving the campus and community. Set
up tables and have student and community representatives. Brainstorm
ideas that include haircuts, massage, house cleaning, auto maintenance,
laundromats, dry cleaning, storage rentals, fitness centers,
etc. Have people there to answer questions about their services.
Provide a drawing for donated prizes.
- Laundromat Night-Select a local Laundromat and ask the management
for a campus night. You could give away food prizes. Check into
discounted prices on laundry for students with a current ID.
Have live music!
- Offer dancing lessons (country line dancing, ballroom, swing,
etc.)
- Have a karaoke night.
- Sponsor a fortune-teller, palm reader, or astrologer to come
to campus to demonstrate his/her skills. This could even be
a fund-raiser.
- Conduct a faculty/staff appreciation day and recognize those
who make the campus run. Give out apples or donated prizes from
area businesses.
- Stage a pet show. Work with the area humane societies and
show some of the pets available for adoption.
- Get involved with "traditions" and high profile
events such as involvement fair, homecoming, family day, the
blood drive, etc. Be visible at these well-attended events!
Don't forget about collaboration:
- Work with club sports, intramurals or athletics (i.e. arm
wrestle the wrestling team!).
- Work with College daycare to provide baby-sitters (or the
names of baby-sitters) for a night while students with children
watch a movie or attend another event.
