5 College Welcome Week Tips

August 29, 2016

By Scott Talarico

Check where your classes are ahead of time – You may think you know the building and classroom, but everyone has a story the first week of classes where they couldn’t find the room number or building. Be friend the ‘over the top’ student leaders – Yes, they’re extremely peppy but their job is to get you excited about being there and being helpful – get excited with them, they’ll be a great support … Continued

Escape Rooms

“eople absolutely loved the Escape Rooms and your team was incredibly easy to work with. I really appreciate all of your help in coordinating all of the details!

As the summer begins, my captains will begin solidifying the details for their events in the fall so they’ll be in contact with you and I know that some of them have reached out already. We look forward to working with you again to execute another series of successful events!”

— Jess, Penn State University – University Park

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Murder Mystery

“The event went wonderfully! The acting lessons seemed to go very smoothly and were extremely in-depth. Our cast members felt very comfortable with their roles after that and did a fabulous job during the event. The theme was a lot of fun, and the clues were constantly throwing the audience for a loop which was great! [The staff] was very interactive with everybody and the layout that he went with as far as questioning the cast and revealing clues was excellent. This was definitely one of my favorite events I have been at so far. I hope to do another Murder Mystery party in the future!”

— Kate, University of Iowa

Chef Egg

“I thought the program was WONDERFUL! Being informative without sounding preachy is very difficult, and I thought Erik [Chef Egg] did a great job. I really like the tone that was used with the students, as I feel they could easily relate to Erik and his cooking. I thought the layout of the show was perfect and the technology was great (camera, video’s, etc.). My supervisor…had nothing but positive things to say about the show including, “That was Awesome!” and “We need to have him come back again!”

— Michigan Technological University

Brian Ledbetter

“Brian Ledbetter is a class above when it comes to entertainment! My students were in awe of his feats of mentalism and they were amazed at the interaction he shared with them. I would highly recommend Brian [Ledbetter] for any college looking for a great programming opportunity. His show is humorous, mesmerizing and incredibly entertaining! My students were left wanting more and they can’t wait to have Brian [Ledbetter] back on campus soon!”

— Jerry Keeton, Tennessee Tech
