Since joining Kellogg last fall I have been awestruck by the diverse, fun, open-minded people I have met. I have:
People tend to get "comfortable" with their friendships and interactions after fall quarter ends (and I presume even moreso after their first year), missing out on opportunities to meet and interact with each other. I want to help facilitate that continued interaction throughout our two year experience.
But I'm just one voice, with one opinion. Tell me what you think... how can we improve the social and cultural events at Kellogg?

- Learned African dance moves (from a native of Togo, no less!)
- Danced bhangra all night at a Bollywood Bash
- Met people of different nationalities, industries, professional backgrounds and geographies

As a non-drinker at Kellogg, I'd be interested to see if we could have tiered pricing for some of the formal events so that people who choose not to drink don't have to feel like they are subsidizing the cost of those who do drink. I'd imagine it shouldn't be too hard to sell two prices of tickets and hand out wristbands for those that buy the more expensive ones. I think this would go a long way towards encouraging a greater diversity of people to attend these events.
Dear "non-drinker",
One of the greatest things about Kellogg is the diversity of people here, including the diversity of interests and preferences. I really appreciate your suggestion.
I think an issue we might run up against could be that some people might choose to not buy wristbands, in the hopes that someone with a wristband could supply them with drinks all evening. Assuming people respect the tiered pricing and don't cheat the system, your solution could work well.
Also, we'd really like to see a few more cultural (and not just social) events on the calendar, such as a Chinese New Year festival at Kellogg. (Alcohol wholly optional).
What do you think?
