Getting the Word Out
Last night, I stated that one of the things I wanted to do as a member of L-Team was give back to the ministry. Another of my hopes was to help improve our publicity, getting the word out about our events such as Survival Night, TNT, and Katartidzo.
When you have to promote, flyers and online communities are invaluable.
I think I've posted over 120 flyers dealing with the Freshman Luncheon, Survival Night, and TNT in only the last couple of days. That means going back and forth between the South Housing residence halls to make sure every hall has at least 1-2 flyers in places students are bound to look. It also means dodging the O-Week decorations that each hall has plastered to their walls. Thank goodness for bulletin boards.
Using the Student News forum on Furman's FirstClass server has also proven useful. It's especially great when I have awesome visuals from Taylor to spiff up the announcements. I'll have to think about getting a large piece of white paper to make a roll-down poster promoting the first TNT next Tuesday, then hang it up in the Dining Hall. Maybe Lauren will know where I can secure one. Gotta keep students aware.
I truly pitied the poor kids who craved their sleep last night. Because unless one possessed the nocturnal rhythms of Rip Van Winkle, it wasn't happening. Not with the O-Week Midnight Serenade going on. I watched it from a safe distance on the first floor balcony of Geer. It went better than I anticipated in that nobody, to the best of my knowledge, threw hard candy at the crowd. Not that it would've stopped them.
Field Fest was the event for today, which I only saw a portion of. I'm typing this entry in the midst of a relatively new Furman tradition - Paladin Nites. It happens about once every couple of months or so and features a bevy of fun games, celebrities, food, and activities. I'm disappointed at the lack of Skeeball and Air Hockey this time around, though. Not even the Velcro Hug is present. Oh well, maybe next month...
