      2. Jessica
      3. Julisa
      4. Ashley
      5. Isabelle
      6. Nickey
    2. Advertising
      1. Advertising was great, saw their posters all around campus and mainly in bg gathering areas like the UMC cafeteria as well as communal areas in the bigger buildings on campus, so that definitely attracted a lot of attention to them.
      2. Postered on campus before the poster was approved
    3. Content
      1. Such variety! It was nice to see the event broken down by regions, in which UMC 235 was much more SA as well as feww middle eastern countries while GM was divided on one side as the middle east, one area as east Asia, and such.
      2. No clear MC was seen, and the one that did talk wasn’t as great with transitioning between performances
        Did appreciate his speech before the event that had many refugee students. He talked about how we should empathize, understand, and seek to immerse and learn form Refugees and that gained a lot of audience applause and support
      3. Heavily Asian/ Middle Eastern performances. Didn't seem many booths from other regions as well.
      4. It would have been great to see more variety in performance and booths! More European or African.
        ASA was in Seattle, does not know that Ifest exists
      5. Not all of the food was very good or authentic. The boba tea at Taiwan was definitely not boba tea. Future suggestion to do this event at Farrand Field and get outside catering!
      6. People had to ask the booths about their country
        Uncomfortable asking people about their booths
    4. Logistics
      1. They did not have enough people at each booth manning it, to which there were long lines at each booth with only two people running them, having to finish the activity to gain the stamps to their “passport” and thus covering other booths that people could have attended as well.
      2. Lack of organization at the beginning of the event. People at the doors were not that helpful in guiding people in the right direction
      3. A lot of people went to this event! It seems very popular every year.
      4. No prescribed direction for traffic
      5. Made people do activities for their booth, making people wait in line
        Instead of one on one activities, have posters
      6. Opened the event later
      7. Smaller space
      8. A lot of waste
    5. Future
      1. Please ensure you do not go live with the event prior to boards approval of posters.
      2. Suggest countries to speak with the attendees of the event. People in booths did not communicate well in regards to their culture/country.
      3. Have the event at Farrand Field to receive more catering.
      4. Have all booths make their stations interactive in order to receive food.
      5. Have a prescribed direction for the group to ensure people knew where regions and where entrances/exits are.
      6. Instead of one on one activities wherein long lines are created, have posters to help people with activities, or have one person direct a group of people
      7. Do not run out of prizes in future
      8. Reserve more room in between booths.
      9. Make sure you are not being wasteful. Booths already had plates and utensils at stations so no need to provide it beforehand.
  3. Students for Sensible Drug Policy “2019 Cannabis and Psychedelic Symposium” April 17th @ Wolf Law - Victor and Christina R.
    1. Who should have attended
      1. Jemil
      2. Chidera
      3. Christina R.
    2. Advertising
      1. A bit last minute-- not a lot of time between when they first started advertising and when the event was
      2. Did not see many posters on campus
        Did not correct changes that CEB suggested
    3. Content
      1. The panel I attended on psychedelics was very informative. Every person on it had something different to contribute and had well-thought out answers to audience Q&A - Christina R.
    4. Logistics
      1. Around 55-45 (slightly more students than community members for the psychedelics panel)
      2. Students appeared to be genuinely interested in topics
      3. Good location because a lot of law students were interested in topic
    5. Future
      1. Advertise earlier
        Consider making a poster for each keynote speaker like last year (poster this year looked a little busy with all of the information on it)
      2. Advertise a lot heavier. Perhaps dedicate time to tabling
      3. Determine keynote speakers before applying for funding (considerable amount of confusion there between CEB/SSDP liaisons)
      4. Towards the beginning and the end of being liaisons, the adviser was planning a lot. Give students more power in planning.
  4. CU Comedy Club “Tig Notaro” April 19th @ Glenn Miller Ballroom - Skylar and Jessica
    1. Advertising
      1. Really good, posters were everywhere for a couple of weeks before the event
    2. Content
      1. Tig’s set was great!!!
      2. Moderated Q&A was very awkward (whoever’s moderating should practice beforehand and it seemed like the professor was very nervous)
        Professor did a good job with questions he had
        People thought Q&A was hilarious
    3. Logistics
      1. Setting up to check people into the event was a little rocky at first
      2. A lot of student and faculty attendance
      3. Only two people from CU Comedy Club showed up to ticket
        Members of org attended, but did not help with set up
        Do not have typical meetings
      4. A lot of student attendance
        450 attending
    4. Future
      1. If we to have a collaboration again, more dialogue can occur regarding the tickets and signs

      2. Helen
    2. Advertising:
      1. Didn’t really see it that much advertising apart from a few posters.
      2. Not that much postering at all but they asked CEB to help with the advertising and it seemed helpful
        Ben emailed asking for help
        One poster at C4C
    3. Content:
      1. She was amazing. Also had the crowd participate in it which was really nice.
      2. She was so talented
      3. The music was so amazing
      4. Although she was singing, she was talking about the culture and the meaning
      5. She sang barefoot
    4. Logistics
      1. They started on time
      2. It seemed full
      3. Ratio- it was dark but it did seem like there were a lot of students
        A lot of students, packed, all seats in Old Main were full
        Lower floor was full
    5. Future
      1. Ensure you are advertising. We did not see many posters on campus which could have increased attendance. CEB can also help advertise in the future
      2. We want to applaud you on starting on your designated time
      3. We have noticed your improval from since last year, and it has been amazing

        Tabling was great! They were playing music and dancing as they advertised

      3. Food was also good with a lot of variety
    4. Logistics
      1. Started really late. Poster said 5 but didn’t really start until 6:30. They had people eat before to by more time for the performer to get ready. There was a lot of community members. A lot of students from sister schools also came.

        People were changing

      1. Make sure the posters are updated with board feedback.
      2. Make sure good communication is put in place if they come back next year for funding

      5. Make sure you send out surveys to the audience.
      6. Make sure there are not 5-7 minute gaps in between performances.
