Fresh On Campus 3.0

 

Fresh on Campus, an informal welcome for Freshers, organised on 13th August,2015 by BVPIEEE, was a huge success in terms of participation and response. It was the third edition of Fresh On Campus, the inagural event being a huge success in 2013.

It was singularly aimed at introducing IEEE and its Student Branch, serendipitously also bridging the gap between seniors and freshers by giving them a chance to meet and interact outside of the formal confines of the classroom.

There were as many as two activities organised especially for this event.The first among them being, The photowalk. The students had a fun photosession which was concluded by a human formation of “IEEE”. The final and easily the most popular activity was the ICE BREAKER event: “The Impractical Jokers”, where a list of tasks amd dares was handed over to previously decided, groups of students, each group having not more than 5 participants.

It was ensured though, that no two participants were from same the branch so that the first year students got a chance to interact with freshers from other branches. Tasks included finding various things on campus,videocapturing dares like tagging a balloon on someone to creating a dubsmash video with an IEEE member.

While the participants showed incredible enthusiasm for the only event of its kind; so did the volunteers. The whole BVPIEEE committee effectively managed the event, handling the turnout of more than a 250, which in itself is no mean feat. It highly encouraged freshers to learn more about IEEE and its events at Student Branch level, effect of which was observed in the events that followed.
