Kathy Arnett, the new weekend coordinator in the campus activities and programs office, agrees. We encourage faculty and staff to get involved. Meeting student interest To help plan for weekends, Julie Fitzgerald, assistant director of campus activities and programs, is getting students more involved in the selection of entertainment. The campus activities center also is scheduling bus trips to New York City once a month at the request of students, as well as to Baltimore and D.C., plus ski trips and other activities. All of this helps students feel less isolated in central Pennsylvania.
Students always enjoy games.
Surprisingly, bingo is popular on campus, attracting up to 600 students in the Terrace Room, perhaps because of the great prizes offered, says Conrad. Casino Night also attracts big crowds. We get great unsolicited feedback from students. Students have noticed the changes, and have commented about the number of things to do on weekends. Students also enjoy dancing.
