| Garden party idea |
Managing the garden idea is part of the presidental duties.
The garden party is a chance for everyone (students, staff, and faculty) to get together in a social atmosphere. More importantly, it serves as a welcome to the new students in the department.Much of this, though, is a repeat of what's done at Candidates' Day and during the research fair. But, if there are a substantial number of current grad students present, I'm sure there can be something fun that allows people to get to know each other (at least match names and faces).
Setup
- Get donuts and OJ at Harris Teeter on department account. (Get acct number from Catherine Perry.) Or, get bagels from Bruegger's (ask Katrina Coble what they do to get bagels -- probably pay and get reimbursed).
- donuts: 12 dozen (for dept size of 140 students, new class of 40 students, pro-rate as needed).
- Ask secretaries how best to set up coffee- they're usually willing to volunteer to help set up.
- See if we can get a long table (ask Katrina Coble).
- Get nametags for everybody and encourage people to wear them.
- Get volunteers to give department tours - each tour group will go to lunch separately (usually))
