Finals Week Movie Night

Devon, Taylor, Justin, DeAnte, Will, Collin

1. We would like to host Good Will Hunting in Fels Center. The movie would be shown to
motivate students and be a break while preparing for exams. The showing will hopefully
be a Cultural Credit, which is needed to graduate at Nichols.
2. The purpose of showing Good Will Hunting, is to help relief stress before the exams &
gain a cultural credit.
3. Participate: All Nichols students/staff that desire.
4. Held: Fels Student Center.
5. The reason we would have it held in the Fels Student Center, is for a couple reasons.
For one, it would be the least expensive because the projector is already set up. Another
reason why we would have it there is because it is convenient for everyone, and the
weather would not effect where the movie is held. Also, we will also have food there like,
popcorn, hot chocolate, etc, since it is in the student section there are cafes there that
we could possible use as resources.
6. Why would this succeed? The event would be successful because not only would it relax
people being that it is near exams, but also it would count as a cultural credit, which you
need sixteen of to graduate from Nichols. We will be providing food, fun and t-shirts for
students which is a huge seller for our event.
7. What goal do you hope to achieve? The goal that we hope to achieve, is that we have a
strong turnout, and that if this is a success it could be carried on as a tradition before
exams.

H. Marketing Plan: Emails, posters. We are planning on sending out mass emails the week
before, the day before, and the day of. We are also planning on hanging posters in
dorms, and Fels Center. We would like to hang the least amount of posters because it
would help us stay within budget, but also emailing would be direct so it is more likely

I.

people would see that rather than a poster. We will also push for professors and
coached to spread the word to their classes to help push for a less stressful/ relaxing
finals week.
How will we make sure everything is done on time and according to plan?We will make
sure everything will be in place on the day before and then two hours before the movie is
going to be shown, have everything ready to go. Our team will also have a checklist of
everything that has to be done prior to the event.

J. How will you assess the success of the event? We will asses on feedback and how
many people will show up. We could possible send out a mass email again with a
questioner to get our feedback.
