April Event Coverage
For
a select group of Frostburg State students, being part of an organization is
what defines them through their four years of college. These are the type of people that need
to be doing something at all times of the day to make sure they are maximizing
their potential on campus. On
Tuesday April 30th, there was a workshop for anyone in said
organizations wishing to make the process easier. Whether that was coming up
with new ideas for fundraising or finding simpler ways to get their word out,
this workshop would help these busy students slow things down.
From
the moment the meeting started, it could be seen that it was one of the more
popular events in recent memories.
This is something that could surprise people considering majorities of
the time there are only a small group of people at workshops like this. The one thing that stood out because of
this was how many Frostburg Students are involved with organizations during
their time here. “Being involved
with the University in other ways then just being a student makes me feel more
well-rounded as a person,” notes Junior Malory Brunett. As these kids are turning into adults,
they are learning valuable life lessons in ways they wouldn’t if they weren’t
involved in such organizations.
Not
only were there a higher number of people in attendance then most thought, but
also these students were actively involved in the workshop. Asking questions at appropriate
times, and taking notes when needed.
The speaker’s main goal was to help these students improve their
accessibilities for advertising in a way that would take away most of the
stress involved with the process.
Junior Phil Hess mentions, “It was refreshing to learn about ways to
improve each of our distinct organizations by people that have been through it
already.” With pages on social
media cites like twitter and Facebook, Frostburg has many ways for
organizations to get their word out to the public.
The
best part of whole evening was being able to see hundreds of different
students, involved with different groups working together under a common
goal. In a time where people
always seem to not have enough time, these kids took it upon themselves to make
time to get better. For such a small event, to see the numbers that showed up
simply means that for Frostburg State students, their involvement in on and
off-campus organizations is very important to them. Whether it’s gaining new brothers or sisters with Greek
life, or teammates for life when involved with athletics, students are
passionate enough to keep learning.
“When the school offers something like this, I will come every time just
because it gives me the opportunity to better myself, and my group,” exclaimed Andrea
H Czajkowski. This type of attitude is the reason that
Frostburg State continues to climb as one of the best in state schools offered
in Maryland. When people jump on
the opportunity to learn, there is not much that they can’t do if they work for
it.
