Feedback and plans for next F/S Celebration

What worked well:

  1. Personal invitations!!
  2. Partnering with Grants Development
  3. Displays
  4. Integrating the creative arts into it more
  5. Did I mention personal invitations? 
  6. Food
  7. Linda Hacker!
How we can do this better next time:

  1. Start earlier (we didn't get started until mid-February this time).
  2. Make use of a submission form in the Daily Eagle
  3. Suggestion from Dance: As the chair also for dance, I wonder if there is a way to project performances on a TV  so others can see beyond a book or journal in the future?
  4. Possible linking with Scholars Day - JO suggests a SD early morning (time?) kickoff reception in the library, where AM presenters would need to get their registration packets, and could come in and have coffee and danish, etc. Funding might be available from the Honors Program, who now fund the post-SD reception, which JO finds to be poorly attended. Explore this idea further.
  5. Other ideas???
