This past weekend, UAT hosted an event called UAT Experience which is where prospective students are able to come with their parents and experience life at the school together so that the parent isn’t left in the dark.
I actually had a two-part day within this event because not only am I a student ambassador, but I’m also an EXL leader, or the people that help with orientation events and work with prospective students. The day started with organization of student badges, getting everyone settled, and ready for the day. It was probably one of the busiest mornings I had ever worked in this job thus far! When it reached 10AM, there were a whole bunch of student activities that were planned such as tours, meet and greets, and lunch. There would be times when those on the tours would start to wander, so it was my job to keep the pack together. I talked to a concerned father about the college and who was concerned about his son’s future since he didn’t know what he wanted to do as of yet. In the end, we talked about several subjects and it even went as far as who would end up running the show for the VR industry!
, Nerf Warz had people shooting each other with Nerf darts while running all around the school, and more clubs were running throughout the night. Most were running up until midnight! Speaking of midnight, there was a Midnight Breakfast event that Founder’s Hall was hosting! There was a plethora of pancakes, bacon, and orange juice. As is expected of college
Overall, the event went extremely well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. All of the staff involved worked their hardest to ensure that the event would go smoothly. I would call that a major success in my book!
