Starting in B165 and then walking to downtown AA from there
Michael Hartt

The event will start in B165 where I will meet with the group of residents who are going on the tour. I will explain the list of places we are going and ask for any suggestions for stops along the way, depending on the group's interests. Then, I will walk the residents to the farmers market, stopping at several places along the way to explain either interesting historical facts or entertaining activities they can partake in there. On the way back, I will lead them further downtown, and back to East Quad, similarly stopping at many places along the way. Depending on the group's interest, we will likely stop for coffee at the farmers market (with no required purchase of course!) and do a speed dating session, so that everyone can become better acquainted.

Michael Hartt

My primary goal for the event is to further advance the presence of the principles of DEI in the club recruitment process by offering residents equitable preparation for it. The event will follow this sequence of events:

1) How to find clubs to join (discuss Maizepages, emailing clubs, and Ross MTC on 9/5 and 9/6)

2) What clubs should be joined (encouraging students to find clubs that cultivate their interests and provide a sense of community; specifying that no particular club has to be joined to follow a career path and that competitive clubs do not necessarily provide better resources than open clubs)

3) What should be prepared to join clubs (resume, etc)

4) Overview of competitive club "rush" process

5) Resume building (using resources from the Ross Career Development Office)

We would like to invite residents to come and fill out their contracts together and enjoy some cookies.

EQ Courtyard

The idea for this event is that we will be kicking around a soccer ball in the courtyard and invite residents to join as they walk by. Some residents may attend from the advertisements, but others may show up as more spur of the moment attendees. People can stick around as long as they like, and we envision that this will build community and promote healthy movement while being fairly low stakes.

I am going to set up the nintendo switch with jackbox games, which allows up to 8 people to play. It is a funny social game that allows for discussion, so I think it is perfect for helping residents connect with each other. I want this event to be casual, the rounds of jackbox games do not take too long so residents can stop in for one game, or stay the whole time if they want to
