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

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. “

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 really well. We had about 40-45 students show up which was a great turnout for events we usually host. We did have one volunteer back out the day of the event, but Thomas was quick to rearrange the script to account for the missing actor. It actually made the murder mystery more suspenseful. I think Thomas was a great host and really engaging with the students when giving clues. Along with asking the actors the right questions that would warrant an audience reaction. He was a big contributor to all of our ohs and ah moments. I also think that the verdict sheets helped students feel like they were detectives or investigators given information to an unsolved mystery. Overall, everyone from members of SAB to those who attended noted it was one of the best events. “

Maximize Your Buzz

“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

— Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student

Derrick Knopsnyder

“Derrick was fantastic! Everything went so smoothly, he was incredibly kind and personable to me, my students, and the other staff and we really appreciated that. His show was also one of the best pure comedy shows I’ve seen during my time at Aurora, he did a great job connecting with the students in the audience and making them feel involved, which others have struggled with in the past. I’d have no issue with bringing him back to campus in the future! Thanks for all of your help!”

— TJ, Aurora University
