Events

 * Name of Event: CYL Spring Cookout
 * Date of the event (best approximate possible): April
 * Projected Attendance: 30
 * Description of Event: We hope to start a tradition of hosting a large spring cookout for students who are involved with CYL studies at Hampshire. It is so important that we strive to create a community of people who share similar interests and passions. Social events and creating traditions are a way to do that. There are so many people at Hampshire who are interested in issues of children, youth, and learning -- yet many of them rarely meet one another or ever cross paths. We are trying to bring these people together, and one way to do so is by having a spring cookout.

 * Name of Event: Summer Internships Fair
 * Date of the event (best approximate possible): February
 * Projected Attendance: 25
 * Description of Event: We plan on hosting a small CYL summer internships fair that allows for students to both share their own summer internship experiences (ones dealing directly with issues regarding Childhood, Youth, and Learning) and also to hear other people's experiences for summer internships. This is an important event to host, especially with many application deadlines approaching. So many students at Hampshire have participated in a summer internship working with kids or educational activism - why not bring everyone together to share their stories and resources? Some of the best resources for finding internships are our own students.

 * Date of the event (best approximate possible): March 7
 * Projected Attendance: 25
 * Description of Event: We plan on holding a meet and greet for first year students who are interested in pursuing their interest in CYL. Only first year students are going to be invited to the event; the signers and other older members of CYL will create presentations on all of the possibilities of studying CYL at Hampshire. We will also invite any professors who might want to discuss some of the CYL course offerings and options for pursuing teaching licensure. This is a vitally important event in creating a community of people who are interested in issues within the umbrella of CYL. By reaching out specifically to first year students, we hope to create a solid base of students who share similar interests and passions.
