Spend Your Spring Semester with SET

Ready, SET, go! From bingo to Spring Fest, the Student Events Team (SET) is gearing up for a fun and engaging semester.

SET kicked off the semester with a fan-favorite event, bingo, on Jan. 29.

“Students can look forward to a semester packed with exciting events, including some of the best bingo prizes yet, Spring Fest, themed weeks, and more,” said junior Victoria Ben-David, the bingo chair for SET.

SET President, junior Isabella DeFrancesco, said that while Spring Fest, which is SET’s annual end-of-semester celebration filled with carnival rides, food trucks, and more, is her favorite event on campus, there are plenty of other fun activities coming up for students to look forward to.

“We have our classic Hearts week back with fun Valentine’s Day based events! Our favorites are Stuff-a-Heart, stuffed conversation heart plushes, Bouquets and Lemonade, and so much more,” said DeFrancesco. “Towards the end of the month, we have a Late-Night Pancake Bar, Pennant Making and Refreshers, and an air-dry clay event to look forward to!”

SET Communications Chair, junior Catherine Kowalsky said she loves getting to work alongside the other members of the executive board and seeing their creative visions become reality.

“We are such a close group of girls, and they are some of my favorite people,” said Kowalsky. “Though I am Communications Chair, and my job is more of a supporting role in terms of planning, getting to see everyone’s creative ideas and hard work come to life at our events – seeing so many members of the SHU community engage with them week after week – is so special!”

Whether students attend events or contribute behind-the-scenes to their planning, SET offers students a multitude of opportunities get involved on campus.

“What keeps me in SET, and what is my favorite thing, is the impact SET has on the SHU community. I love seeing people’s faces when they attend an event they love,” said DeFrancesco. “That’s why SET does what it does. We not only want to make events that we enjoy, but also the events our community wants to see. I love the creativity and passion that comes from planning events for others!”

For students looking to get involved, SET holds general member meetings every other Monday at 8 p.m. in HC 104. The next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 10.
