Williams wants student input for January’s Campus Life Night

Student Vice President for Student Affairs Yve Williams is looking for ideas about what students want to see at this year’s Campus Life Night.

Campus Life Night is an activity that welcomes new and returning students back to the spring semester after winter break ends, with games, music and food.

It takes over the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union on Jan. 10, with activities on almost every floor in both branches, and a smaller version of the RSO fair.

Currently Williams is in the planning stages of the event, and she said she appreciates all of the recommendations thus far, but wants more input.

“I want to get more students to come than last year, and the only way I can see getting that done is by having activities that the students want to be involved in,” she said.

Williams is taking input on all aspects of the celebration, such as what kind of food the students want served, whether they want to see activities from last year or new ones, and what they want for entertainment.

“Getting people out here and giving them something fun to do is the thing we really want from Campus Life Night,” Williams said.

In order to try and peak student interest,Williams plans on advertising the event more than it has been in the past.

“I want to get more word about this event out because if it generates enough talk, students are going to come.”

Joe Robbins, speaker of the Student Senate, said he encourages as many students to attend as possible because there are always interesting activities.

“Last year I know the Laser Tag thing they had was a big draw for students, and it really is a good way for the students to spend their time out somewhere.”

To contact Williams for more information, or to make suggestions about things students might want at Campus Life Night, students can call her office in the Student Activities Center at 581-7673.
