It's hard to believe that, just a few months ago, CSE Scholars was welcoming several new potential members to our organization at our Fall 2011 mass meeting!
All of our officers got to speak to everyone attending about their role in the group, why they thought the group was successful and a useful asset to everyone, and how it had helped them with their academic goals.
Once all the pizza boxes and soda bottles had been cleaned up, several officers, members, and first-time attending students got together and played an icebreaker game where we each had to say an interesting fact about ourselves and any other person who that fact applied to had to stand up and change their chair. There was one less chair than the number of participants, so if you were too slow, you'd be stuck in the middle!
Check out a small clip from that game below:
Many of us stayed and continued to play this game for more than two hours, and, at the end of it all, all of us had become good friends. Some of us realized that we'd been in the same classes for a whole semester and had never even spoken prior to that night!
Overall, the mass meeting was a big success. Many new people discovered CSE Scholars and past attendees became full members. We were able to spread our name all over the student body and gained several potential members as well.
