APCA Midwest Conference 2012 – Day 2


The conference officially kicked off on Friday morning and I went to an educational session on recruiting. The presenter gave us some good tips on choosing the right kind of events for our campus and how to encourage students to come to events that we host.

Becca volunteers
We had a buffet-style lunch in the afternoon where Becca and Robyn, Moraine Park students, volunteered to take lunch tickets. During our lunch in the ballroom we listened to all different kinds of acts that included comedians, musicians, and acrobats. Throughout the performances we could send tweets on Twitter using the conference’s hashtag and see them on the projection screen.



Resa's got a monkey on her back
After the showcase, we got a chance to meet with the acts that were performing throughout the weekend in the exhibit hall. Resa, our West Bend Student president, had the opportunity to hold a monkey. There was a tarantula as well, but I didn’t go anywhere near it. Yikes!

There were more acts to see before and during dinner, and the late night event included a mentalist and hypnotist. Both of them were good and a lot of fun to watch.
