Natl Day of Failure
Tab 6
Caroline - getting students on campus that have will make them more knowledgeable and connected to resources that connect them to issues that are important to them @ their home states Willow - could be great collab with Hop Votes. We are doing an Election Night Watch Party, CEC Could co-sponsor? Requires at least 1-2 committee members to be present. Willow - Day of failure was pretty strong, could try and do that again next semester. Learn from this semester and do it in another location? Maybe student center? Caraline - Stuce does not allow tabling right now Willow - maybe random acts of kindness, tie it around community and civic engagement
