Nipissing University Student Union Event & BBQ

Good Day Fellow Rotarians

Once again this year, we have been invited to participate in the Nipissing Student Union Resource Fair and BBQ. Our club has been represented the past 2 years and this is an excellent opportunity to introduce the staff and students to our Rotary Club as a potential for service. We have also signed up to be a partner in the university Volunteer Participation Certificate so those students interested in the Certificate can discuss ihow we can assist through involvement in our club.

At this point, I am looking for expressions of interest from our members in taking a shift at our booth. Details to follow and I have enclosed the original invitation letter below.

EVENT DATE & TIME: Tuesday, September 9   11:30am to 2:30pm

LOCATION: NUSU Student Centre Building

Yours in Rotary

Original Invite:

Hello & Happy Summer!

It’s that time of year again where we start to plan our Welcome Back BBQ for all our students who return in the fall. We’ve begun to plan the logistics of this event and would like to invite you to join us again this year. The BBQ will be held at the NUSU Student Centre Building from 11:30-2:30 on Sept 9th. A BBQ will be available with alternative dietary options as well outside in the Courtyard (manned by the NUSU team) for students at $0 cost if they present a Nipissing Student ID Card. 

This would operate the same as a resource fair where students can come in and meet professors in their program, community partners, student groups and services at Nipissing. We’re looking to recreate last year's event just in a new space! What we need from you folks at this time is to confirm that one (or two max due to large capacity) people from your department/program/team can attend the event and host a table. This would be the place to push any resources or information for the incoming year to students, and each student would receive a ‘passport’ of sorts encouraging them to talk to groups to be entered to win a draw. We’ve had really great success with this part of the program, so I'm excited to see it in action again! This event typically gains the traction of 1000+ students as it's essentially the one stop shop for everyone on campus and our external groups, so we would love to have you!

Let us know if this date works for you, and if so a seating chart and more detailed information is to follow. 

Thank you so much in advance!
