iACEs for April/May

Did all of you see the iACEs for February/March? You should read that again too-click here :)

March 22- The Mitzvah project. This is a one act play about half-Jewish soldiers in the Nazi army in Tod Wehr. It sounds like it is pretty awesome. The interactive part of this program can be dinner before where you share all of things you know about Judaism and the things that you want to be sure to ask.

March 23- Feel Yo'self as part of Sex Week! This is a program about self pleasure and being confident in our sexual health. The interactive part of this program can be a question jar in the bathroom that residents can leave their unanswered questions about sex toys, self pleasure or things related and you can all read them aloud on the way to the event so you can be sure to get them answered at the event!

March 25- The Condom Fashion Show! This event seems to be interactive in itself! Get a team together to craft with provided condoms to make the best art you can to win Condom Royalty. Make sure to take plenty of photos because these would make great facebook gems.

March 29- Public Speaking as a Career Builder. There is a dude that was featured with TED talks that will come in and talk about working together to raise awareness about crime and hate prevention. This has the possibility to give you some great tips for bystander intervention or other language to use when we confront issues in society. The interactive part can be getting your floor together to make some community expectations that they can take to their floors next year to keep a positive community flowing at Ripon.

March 29- Women, Religion and Spirituality panel for Women's History Month. This is a great event to talk about our faith and how that relates to being women in today's society. Any and all genders would benefit from hearing how one group in our society feels about their lives. This is another event where the interactive part can be a floor dinner and walking to the event together.

March 30- Reproductive Rights Struggle. This is another Women's History Month event that everyone should be interested in, especially with the debate over Hobby Lobby and its contraception coverage and a political climate that might change the way family planning is done in our country. The Interactive part can be a google doc where you all get together and share the recent news as it relates to Reproductive Rights-t here are a lot of things out there-and get prepped to ask some great questions.

March 30- Ripon After Dark make your own popcorn event! Tavia has some sweet things to help make your popcorn "pop" with flavor. The interactive part of this can be your very own March Madness of popcorn catching in your mouth! Create a bracket and have your residents battle it out at the event for the 2016 March Popcorn Madness certificate that you make.

April 2-Mock Quinceanera. Have you ever had a sweet sixteen party? Well if you are from a family with Spanish culture connections you probably did not celebrate 16- but 15 (quince-get it?) instead! Learn about the 15 celebration and party like you are 15 all over again. The interactive part can be getting dressed up in our dancing shoes, bow ties, bolo ties, and fancy clothes to celebrate then head over to Great Hall together!

April 8-Rip Olympics! Bringing back a classic! Dean Ogle created this event as one of the Super Six events back when he was the Director of Residence Life. Sign up as a floor to win events that are designed for partners and teams to compete in-winner takes home gold. The Interactive part here can be getting together with coordinated outfits and sweat bands to guarantee your win.

April 14-16-The One Acts! Senior Theatre majors present their senior sems this weekend in these plays. They are shorter and usually so much fun to watch. Your interactive part can be a quick scorecard you put together to vote and pick best actress, director, set design, and other things to award your own One Act Oscars.

April 15- Murder Mystery time! If you are not on the planning committee for this Super Six take some people with you to participate, it is a pretty good time learning all of the things about this 1920s Cruise over New Years Eve. This event is also interactive but you can also get dressed up before you come, you can puffy paint matching clue notebooks, or vote at this event too for your favorite actor/actress.

April 16- RAD presents HOT WING contest ala Buffalo Wild Wings. There are plenty of wings to eat without the hot sauce too-so come and try. The interactive part here can be making your own hot wing eating bibs out of shopping bags-to prevent mess of course!

April 17- The Symphonic Wind Ensemble is playing. It is usually a great show and you can make it interactive by everyone going to the event learning how to whistle a song together. Then you can whistle the song all the way to Rodman.

April 18- A TED Talk about poverty, money and love in the Center for Social Responsibility Lounge. I love TED talks and the interactive part here can be sharing a list of great talks (like Monica Lewinsky's talk about cyber bullying) for everyone to watch. Then create a Google Form for them to rank order them in everyone's favorites. Then you can share that list with David W. Scott in the Center for Social Responsibility so he can know what your floor thinks are great TED talks to consider for the future.

April 19- Pinata Making. For real? You can make a pinata as a floor? That sounds great-then you can fill it with candy, tie it to a tree on campus, ask for a broomstick or baseball bat from somewhere and hit it! Do not forget a blindfold from Mapes so it is fair!

April 27- Ripon Idol brought to you by RAD. Nominate someone from your floor to show off their skills, silly human tricks, juggling skills, etc. Then everyone else should paint tshirts, or their bellies to show their support, a little fan club for your talent star. Lead the way to the event announcing that the soon to be Ripon Idol is on the way, or telling everyone you meet that Ryan Seacrest endorsed your candidate. :)

Tuesday May 3 is the last day of class and the last day to program on campus-so get your proposals in!
