Student Affairs Involvement

Homecoming 2023 (Student Activities Council)

The theme for Homecoming this year was There's No Place Like WCU. The block party had stuff-a-plush lions with miniature Homecoming t-shirts, pancake art, tarot card readers, fortune tellers, an escape room, as well as a sensory space complete with fidgets, coloring pages, and board games. Our Saturday event, the Wicked Block Party was located on the walk way in front of the Science and Engineering Center at the Commons on campus and was a smashing success with over 1,000 attendees! The block party had an appearance from the Incomparable Golden Rams Marching Band, axe throwing, stuff-a-plush lions and lionesses, face painting, inflatable games, heart-shaped personalized pizzas, DIY themed cupcakes, a doughnut truck, novelty pins, caricatures, a photo booth, and a sensory space with fidgets, bean bags, and mini canvases that guests could paint.

I loved being an Orientation Leader so much that I decided to do it for another year! During my second year, I took on more of a leadership role as a Returning Orientation Leader and acting as a mentor and leader among my peers using the knowledge and skills that I gained last year. I also used my involvement and knowledge of West Chester's campus to help connect students with resources, departments, and organizations that will help them thrive and become more comfortable in their transition into college.

Rams After Hours Bingo
(Student Activities Council)

I was in charge of planning and organizing the end of the year bingo event for Rams After Hours. The event had over 400 attendees and is one of the most popular events that Student Activities Council has during the school year. The prizes varied from a Macbook Air to a giant stuffed plushie of our schools mascot, Rammy.

Ramboree 2023
(Student Activities Council)

For Ramboree 2023 the event had to be moved to the rain location inside of Sykes Student Union on campus. I was again tasked with floating for this event and was responsible for the bottom floor of the building. I was tasked with overseeing the volunteers working the check-in lines and distributing wristbands and meal tokens. The event was a smashing success despite the rain and I cannot wait to see what the next Ramboree holds!

(Student Activities Council)

For Banana Day 2023, I was tasked with floating on the academic quad. My responsibilities included overseeing the volunteers in the area and ensuring that all banana themed games and activities were running smoothly as well as the Banana Day t-shirt line.

At the Block Party there was axe throwing, a face painter, inflatable obstacle courses, and music courtesy of the radio station on campus. The theme was Rock N' Roll and there was a plethora of giveaways inspired by the theme.

Family Weekend 2022
(Student Activities Council)

Family Weekend was the first time that I planned an event for West Chester and it was an amazing success and learning experience! I contacted business in the town of West Chester to see if they would be interested in participating in a food crawl for the university's Family Weekend and then I made a map and checklist of all the participating locations! Families were given raffle tickets depending on how many locations they visited and then were entered to win some West Chester apparel as well as other amazing prizes! After the food crawl, I reached out to and signed a contract with a hypnotist and there was a family-friendly hypnotist show at the student union on campus.

I worked as an orientation leader in the summer and helped new students learn more about West Chester and the resources that we have available on campus. In addition to this, I got to excite students about the upcoming school year and offer myself as a resource and friend for them on campus!

Ramboree is West Chester University's spring festival/concert! This event was super fun to help out with and I ran the Student Activities Council Instagram to promote the event while simultaneously floating for the event so I could quickly help any volunteers in need of assistance.

Banana Day is a West Chester University tradition that goes back over 20 years! It is basically just a day to celebrate and de-stress with finals just around the corner. I helped with the social media aspect of this event and even had the honor of wearing a banana costume.
