Making Memories: How Traditions Enhance the Student Experience

About the Episode

About the Episode: Homecoming. Orientation. Welcome Week. Fall Fest. Family Weekend. Ring Dance. Our students experience so many traditions during their four (or more) years on our campuses, but what makes these events create lasting memories? That’s the question that Jaime poses to Alison Paz, associate director of marketing and communications for Louisiana State’s Division of Student Life. In her position, Alison plays a key role in both creating and marketing these events. Takeaways from this episode include:

  • Insight into why campus traditions are an important part of the student experience – and tips for how to recapture the enthusiasm that was lost during the pandemic
  • Ideas for engaging students in ways that create memories and build nostalgia for their student experience long after graduation
  • Tips for engaging students in the process of both creating and marketing campus events
  • Guidance on collaborating with other campus partners to build experiences that cut across silos
