MC Date Night
These past few weeks we have learned some very important
things for us to keep moving forward with MC Date Night.
The first and main thing that was learned is how important it
is to communicate effectively between departments. The ticket office has been selling
tickets only to people on actual dates and turning away others if they were not
on dates. This was never the intention
of the $6 date price. It was the intention
to encourage dating, but not to turn people away.
The second thing that was learned this week is the
importance of having everyone feel like they can attend the event. While we want to keep the name MC Date Night,
we are going to need to do a better job at marketing what MC Date Night includes,
and it not just for people on dates, but an event where students can come and
connect with each other as well as an inexpensive place to have a date night.
The past date night on March 13th we added a singles
“lounge”. Table were set up and decorated,
fun music was playing, and we had a drink and snack station. We are going to continue the single’s lounge
and develop that activity more. We have
thought about adding the dating game, and maybe speed dating to the area.
We have MC Late Night every Friday night in the Manwaring
Center. We need to make sure that the
things that are offered on MC Late Night are different then what we offer on MC
Date Night. MC Date Night we try and
focus on a different theme each time the event is held. While we can include
elements of MC Late Night at Date Night, the activities that are offered need
to be different enough, so the events do not get stale and feel like we are on
repeat at each event.
My student coordinator Haylee has done an awesome job with MC
Date Night. She is always willing to
look at what is going good with Date Night and where we can improve. With the semester coming to an end in a few
weeks Haylee and I are focusing on what we will be offered Spring Semester.
