free hugs! 2018
Free Hugs! 2018 was a campus-wide positivity project organized by me and my QUEST 2018 friends after being inspired by Tom Krieglstein's workshop during QUEST. We advocated for mental health awareness, for campus connection, and for leadership development access.
project organization
Inspired by Tom Krieglestein's workshop, my QUEST friends and I planned and developed a campus-wide positivity project to not only advertise BHLP but also advertise friendliness and connection on campus. We met over the course of two months, with the big event being November 1st, and we developed sub-committees to further accentuate roles. I asked people who were interested, what they wanted to do for sub-committees, and checked up with them to ensure if they needed anything. The process to secure a space on a green, serve as Executive Organizer for the sub-committees, and watching the two-month long project be executed was my first taste project success.
