We rounded off the day with a few rounds of Gnip-Gnop! It's a great active ice-breaking game around a ping pong table! Got pretty competitive and got everyone's energy up before everyone headed home.
It was a great experience to meet some awesome students from around the region. But enough from me. I asked some of our current Michigan students on the Lead On Committee a few questions about their experiences! Check it out below!
1. What did you enjoy most about the Retreat?
2. What is something your committee is hoping to do?
3. What are you most looking forward to at Lead On?
Matt Coulson, WMU Graduate Assistant-Facilities (Program/Proposal Committee): "What I enjoyed most was meeting all of the other Region III Lead On committee members and being able to brainstorm a lot of ideas that will make this the best Lead On yet. I dare anybody to take us on in trivia."
"Something that our committee is hoping to do is to really encourage presentation proposals that are out of the "norm." Purdue has an absolutely amazing facility that can cater to pretty much any presentation: from in-water aquatic demonstrations to adventurous rock climbing demonstrations. This is an incredible opportunity for presentations to be "out of the box."
"What I am most looking forward to at Lead On is seeing all the hard work that the committee members' put in finally come to fruition. I am also excited to meet even more people and show first-time Lead On attendees how awesome NIRSA is."
Vince Seelbach, OU Graduate Assistant-Fitness/Wellness (Professional Development Committee): " I was excited to get the ball rolling and meet my other committee members. Everything we need for Lead On will be so close at Purdue and I'm excited to help provide opportunities for students to develop themselves professionally."
Brandon Szachta, LTU Graduate Assistant Student Recreation and Athletics (Professional Development Committee): "I am most looking forward to communicating and working with my fellow committee members to make a positive impact on the professional development of student Lead-On attendees. My hope is that students leave the conference with more confidence as they seek future positions and involvements."
Margie Wallington, CMU UREC Undergraduate (Registration Committee): "I enjoyed getting to know the other committee members face-to-face. For me, this was the first time I was meeting most of them and learning their "story" of how they became involved with NIRSA/MIRSA.
We are hoping to spice up the name tags a little bit and give attendees a chance to stand out.
I am looking forward to experiencing the conference in a different way as a committee member. Last year as an attendee and presenter I had a fantastic time, but this year being involved at the committee level will allow me to meet more people and gain additional leadership experience!"
