Roll for initiative: Using library game nights to empower student leaders

Abstract

Academic libraries provide valuable programming for their campus communities. This programming often springs from collaborations with other campus centers, but we sometimes overlook the fact that student organizations can bring a level of energy and enthusiasm that faculty and staff just can't match. Our public four-year university library has capitalized on this type of collaboration with our monthly board game nights. Join us to find out how we have successfully leveraged the student organizations on our campus to enrich our programming to create an enjoyable, inclusive, and sustainable events series.
