  participating parties (Students, Engineering
  Societies, and corporate sponsors) to walk away
  with a positive experience.

6
DefineWhat kind of events do we want to hold?

• Events that attract the most amount of people.
• We want events to be as inclusive as possible and

  Night, Screen on the Green

  that getting slimed

PASAE

• I likecampus wide capture the flag
• Bonfire/Picnic (Grouped as one or the other)
• screen on the green (this is a movie right?)
• broomball
• 1) I think engineers would be most entertained
  with parties.2) I think engineers would be most
  attracted to movie-events (like hella nerdy
  shit)3) Most beneficial would definitely be a
  professional night or something

15
TBP

• 1. Broomball, Engineers makeover/date auction,
  SPAC, Game night2. Entertaining
  HypnotistAttractive Engineering Sports
  NightBeneficial Professional Development
  Workshops / Networking / Panel with Industrial
  ContactsAlso, HKN and TBP are thinking of
  holding our Intersociety sports night during
  E-Week if possible. It will depend somewhat on
  Maxwell field availability which can be volatile
  at times. Let me know if you forsee any problems
  with this. We'll make sure to coordinate with the
  other E-Week events as to ensure no overlapping
  times.

16
ASME

• So ASME thought of something not on the list
  that we would like to do asour Night Event. We
  would like to do the Screen on the Green, but
  we'dlike to expand on it by making it a carnival
  night (i.e. there will be ascreen on the green,
  popcorn machine, cotton candy, makeshift games to
  winASME t-shirts, etc). If that gets shot down,
  we'll think of somethingelse. My officers aren't
  too fond of the ideas on the list /Anyways, to
  answer the other questionsENTERTAINING - purely
  just hanging outATTRACTING - free
  foodBENEFICIAL - uh...have fun?

17
IIE

• Top 4 choices1. Wine cheese with grad
  students2. Screen on the Green3. Inter-societal
  triathlon (engineering focused) - don't know what
  this means, but it could be cool4. Clubbing in
  SFENTERTAINING KaraokeATTRACTIVE Ping pong
  tournament BENEFICIAL Any social activities
  with employers/representativesNote Bowling,
  ultimate frisbee, ping pong tournament, touch
  football, volleyball, badminton, tennis, and
  other sports activities like that would be really
  cool. 

18
SWE

• The four events Bonfire, Clubbing in SF, Wine
  and Cheese with Grad Students and Paintball. 
• Entertaining and Attractive ones that involve
  either competition or professors doing crazy
  things (think dunk tank...). 
• Beneficial would be events that reach out the
  community (both campus and beyond) to show them
  the importance of engineering and what we do. 
  Hope that helps!

  broomball.
• Most beneficial Watching the Sandlot, and then
  playing baseball. Everyoneshould see this
  movie.Most entertaining Stars War

25
HES

• 1)BonfireClubbing Screen on the GreenBroom
  ball2) We are all used to the technical events
  so I think a social one would be a good idea and
  the most entertaining. As far as what kind, maybe
  something like bowling or attending a sporting
  event.  I think that as far as most beneficial, a
  social event, again, would be the best idea. It
  would not only give everyone a good break from
  school but would also help in the formation of
  new study groups.
