 is this too much? is it too late.
 is it necessary and part of our agenda? too similar to Celebrasian
 CAPE should do it instead
Other ideas:
 alumni engagement during homecoming weekend
 reach out to oracle, class board, UPAAAN,
 targetting upperclassmen
 TD: Kelly + Mithin look into alumni event
 freshman rep dinner - have our freshman liaisons organize this?
