Advisee+Gatherings


 * How do you plan for and create advisee gatherings?

Having the students create a meal provides a fun and structured (fairly) gathering where conversation is easy. I like having them make pizzas, sandwiches, decorate cookies, burritos, and more. Letting the different grades (ie-juniors) plan and host a gathering has been fun as well.

It is really important to get the kids into your homes. However, living off campus makes that harder. I think we must give more time for these events. When we have had advisor/advisee dinners the kids really enjoy them. I think cooking their own meal is also a great idea. That was my most successful dinner last year.

I really like the dinners at my home, but I prefer the ones that I cook or the kids cook with me (I am off campus.) I think that if we are going to have the school provide food, we should simply use the new dining room and sit as advisory groups. For the home dinners, we should cook and be reimbursed, or get $6 out to dinner money.

My day advisees always prefer to go out to dinner together rather than dinning on campus.**
