Columbia College Student Council

For the Executive Board of:

Fall Bacchanal

Have you had any more fun on campus this year than you did last year?

It's our job to fix that.

The Community Impact

In an academic year plagued by an unrelenting stress culture, little has been done to bring us together or foster a more cohesive community. This year has exemplified Columbia’s immense need for a positive, self-sustaining sense of campus spirit.

Fall Bacchanal will not only prove to be an exciting, energetic way to kick off the fall term. It will set in motion a more spirited and energetic culture at Columbia.

Feasibility

Through over a dozen meetings, discussions, and presentation of financial models to administrators, we have crafted this event perfectly for the student body. The administration's largest concern is appropriate student behavior, and we will solicit student feedback to find fair solutions. Student support for this campaign is the last piece of the puzzle.

Details of the Concert

We will solicit student feedback on which artist they want with surveys and a poll of the final three choices. We will look to fund the concert with advertising revenue and the CCSC budget, but if those do not suffice we will sell tickets to students who can afford them and cover the cost for those who cannot.
