I think that s a department-specific agenda, and does not really contribute to Orientation. However, there is still some distance to go. Everything else was up in the air. I think each event has a certain risk of failure. Events that people have heard of and know about usually carry a lower risk of failure like the Crane Club.

I think the key to their success is giving people a certain amount of choice and self-control. By letting people loose on the city with a camera and some cash, it was really up to them how involved they got. Most groups had fun with it.
