Areas to Improve

Tabling in Dental School (First Year Orientation)

15-20

25

None -- just showed up and had a table

Enabled new dental students to realize the Hillel presence on campus

Should target all dental students, not just first-years.  Be more predominant; find a way to encourage people to stop by the table.

Edible Sukkah Tabling

 

Wednesday, 9/25, 11am-2pm, Oval

Variety of students who were out on the Oval

Involved Hillel students -- didn't know and/or weren't interested

100

Flyers, Calendar, WHH

Students were lined up before we even started and LOVED getting free ice cream!  Helped us spread the word about Hillel.

Didn't have much opportunity for one--on-one conversations b/c of crowd and rush to serve.  Have one person there ONLY to talk to students in line and while eating, others to serve the food.

Good opportunity to talk with students who come to play; lots of fun and creative way for socializing

There doesn't seem to be as much interest in the program as used to be.  Find a way to revive it by doing something more creative, with better timing and more publicity.

Dinner was a great chance to meet and talk with students and for students to talk to each other; movie was a big draw for students to participate
