You remember Dustin, a past intern? Well, he’s a rising student affairs star now, working at Husson University in Maine, and an avid blogger. He is also still very much involved in Swift Kick projects still. We love Dustin.
Anyway, he wrote this awesome blog post connecting the “comic con” and “geek” cultures to student programming on college campuses. These concepts are also great for student organizations.
He talks about 3 aspects of Geek Culture that are transferable to your efforts on campus
- Traditions – students love to get hyped up year after year for an awesome event
- Symbols – school pride through recognizable logos keeps the brand strong
- Connections – shared interests bring people together and make new friendships! [How Dance Floor Theory of you, Dustin!]
But alas, he says it better than we could, so go read his post!
