Meet the Candidates: Student Events Executive Director

Creed Jones 

 Why are student events important, and what do they mean to you?  

Why are student events important, and what do they mean to me? Student events cultivate a sense of community, like the ‘Hobama’ fanbase. Not only do they cultivate purpose and also community, they create a sense of friendship. For me, student events have created a place I can call home and also irreplaceable memories. 

 How will you create a fun and safe atmosphere at the various events on campus?  

I plan on creating a fun and safe environment at the various events on campus by ensuring that student events are zebralicious, by centering empathy, sustainability and community. We can ensure that not only everyone can have fun, but everyone can show up as their best selves. 

 What, if any, is a new event idea you have for next year? 

I would like to do a minion event. To quote King Bob, ‘banana.’ This event would feature various activities such as a banana eating contest, a 24 hour minion dance and more.
