<span style="font-size:largersmall;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In fellows' past experiences, a few things were learned and a few tips were picked up.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:largersmall;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">First, d</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">on't be hesitant to host a workshop because you are afraid there will be a small turnout.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you don't go ahead with your project, you'll never know. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It is those few passionate students who really make the difference in pushing forward ideas anyway. Second, take care that no other campus organization is hosting an event on the same day (ex: NYU Stern School of Business hosted a well-publicized event on the same day). This diminishes the turnout in at least one of the events. And finally, make sure the event is unlike pre-existing events on campus so that the experience is a memorable and unique one worth attending more than once. </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Pointless repetition is boring; have diverse offerings. Choose from an array of exiciting event ideas: competition, a guest speaker, a meet-and-greet, a hackathon, a design thinking workshop etc. Maintain the element of novel</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">ty. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">This will improve the student experience and overall quality of the event.</span></span>
