Event Planning for Student Leaders – Your First Steps

It is very exciting to be in a position to plan events for your campus. Thinking about all the things you can plan that students will enjoy or will learn from is really fun to do.  However, the event planning process can be overwhelming. And it is really not fun to put a lot of work and resources in to planning an event to have no one show up or have people complaining about the event when they do show up.

The Legacy Project

The Legacy Project is simple.  It is a journal.  Inside the journal, I wrote a question on each page.  I provided instructions to the recipient asking them to take time over the next year to answer the questions with as much or as little detail as they desire.  Then, after the year, I ask that the journal be wrapped up as a gift and given back to me.
