Conversations
‘Conversations’ is a project meant to get people talking and meant to make programming on identity more accessible, visible, and engaging for the average student on campus. Supported by ODUS & USG, ‘Conversations’ is structured around fluid dialogue summits held at Frist late meal, that get at the question: ‘how does your identity affect your experiences?’

Wintersession
Wintersession is a week-long program for undergraduates taking place on campus during Intersession Break, providing activities for personal enrichment and community-building beyond what is offered during the school year. With classes out of session, students have an abundance of free time. Many stay on campus for this week or could be encouraged to do so with greater programming and community during the break. This is a great opportunity to encourage formal and informal learning on campus, while taking advantage of an open gap in the academic calendar.
The motivation comes from similar programs offered at other universities, e.g. MIT’s IAP (Independent Activities Period), Harvard Wintersession, Dartmouth’s Winter Term, etc.

Thanksgiving Buses
To coordinate discounted buses heading to various locations so that students have a cheap and convenient way to return home for the Thanksgiving holiday. This project is geared to get students who typically would decide not to or hesitate to return home due to inconvenience or expense. We also hope to properly cater to the amount of interest on campus, efficiently using our budget and filling buses to various locations.

Student Events Calendar and Consolidation of Resources
We’re hoping to centralize a calendar for events for undergraduate events on campus. Our motivation is to increase accessibility to incredible events and helping market events on a single platform. This will contribute positively to the campus atmosphere as well!
