PAST PROJECTS
How we challenged the status quo - one semester at a time. Just as we imagined we could.
2025
March
Let's Be Frank
We wanted students to have a space for real conversations. We hosted a hot dog party to facilitate this, combined with conversation prompts encouraging attendees to get to know someone better or meet someone new.
October
Be a Kid Again
College can be a stressful time, so we created an event designed to let students be a kid again. It included legos, fidget toys, music, and childhood shows encouraging students to relax and relive childhood days.

Worlds Within Reach
We had a mission to introduce new cultures to individuals seeking to expand their global mindset and to broaden their horizons. At this event, attendees enjoyed different cultural foods, explored cultural communities close to home, and were exposed to music and festivities.
February
Carlson Book Bash
In collaboration with the UMN Libraries, we wanted to inspire others to put down their screens and pick up a book. Through our book bash with amazing prizes and reading activities like bookmark-making and a book bracket, we did just that.
2023
December
We missed the winter from our childhoods: playing in the snow for hours on end, making paper snowflakes, and drinking hot cocoa. So we sought a way to bring that magic back. With our event, we gave everyone a chance to relive some of their favorite childhood memories.
October
Pickle Palooza
Stress is a big dill, so we wanted everyone to take a break from that mid-term stress. What better way to do that than with a pickle party? We celebrated all things pickle, with pickleball, pickle trivia, and of course pickles!
April
Career Carnival
As business students, we get so caught up in tradition: professional attire, corporate jobs, and high-stress career fairs. Why does it have to be this way? So we threw a Career Carnival where students could learn about non-conventional career paths with fun activities and games!
March
College Cooking Fair
College students love to eat, but many are not equipped to cook. Whether their budgets are tight or they just don't know how to cook, we wanted to help them. With our College Cooking Fair, we set them up with live cooking classes and tips for budgeting to get them back into the kitchen!

Slowing Fast Fashion
In the age of social media, trends come and go faster than ever. With this, it means consumers are buying more and discarding more. We want to be conscious of the waste. By hosting a clothing drive, we gave consumers a better option to discard their clothes and have it be put toward a good cause.
October
Conscious Consumption
Over-consumption and waste go hand-in-hand in today's world. Many products are made to get us to buy more and use more, and while it is great for profit it damages our ecosystem. In this campaign, we wanted to inform people that there are alternatives to the products that they are using to reduce their carbon footprint.
May
The Simple Things
Through the Covid-19 pandemic, we lost a lot of things that we took for granted. Going to restaurants, seeing friends and family, even just going grocery shopping. This campaign wanted to highlight these little things and wanted us to take a second to enjoy the moment.
October
Get Active
Since the pandemic, everyone has gotten used to being on our devices and looking at screens 24/7. The campaign advocated for everyone to go outside, take a walk, anything that would get them active. Even providing resources for at-home workouts. Getting some fresh air helps the body to heal.
