TEDx talks

2. Meet the grads
Bring back program grads with stories to tell of the “real world.” Not just those who’ve landed excellent jobs, but people doing unusual things with their college credentials: founders of startups, artists, activists, and social-change pioneers. Hint: find grads active on social media who can help promote your event as brand influencers.
3. Community service events
Millennials love expressing their values online, but 80% of them feel it’s essential for people to come together in person to promote positive change. Invite them to be that change. Team up with an organization outside of campus to promote and orchestrate a meaningful community event. For instance, a clean-up-the-community day, a read-a-book-to-an-elder day, or a food-bank volunteer day.
4. Stress-relief activities
Students are stressed. Organize a social get-together that doubles as a makeshift spa day. Bring in chair-massage therapists, aromatherapy experts, and yoga teachers. You can probably find a lot of these “pros” from within your own student base.
5. Smartphone film festival
Don’t simply invite your film students to contribute without any direction. Anyone can make a short movie with the user-friendly digital tools at our disposal today. Come up with a theme and some basic ground rules on length and subject matter. Pick a day to showcase entries in a theater setting. And promise widespread social-media shares for the winners.
6. Pop-up photo booths
Set up smart photos booths around campus (or at a bigger event) to encourage students to create social-worthy images. Think beyond the old standard — the photo booth where you insert a dollar, stand behind a curtain, then wait for a few grainy pictures to print out. Hypno GIF is one photo-booth maker that offers a more high-tech experience.
