Outside the [Box] is a club on campus which promotes positivity and a sense of community on campus. You may have seen post-it notes around campus saying things such as “You’re beautiful” and “Don’t doubt yourself.” This would be the handiwork of this great club.
Every Monday, the club gets together to discuss what fun things they can put together to make sure people realize how great they are and how they can promote positivity. In the past, they have conducted an event called the “Get To Know You Social.” What is this you ask? It is basically speed dating. However, it is known in the club as speed-“friend-ing”. The meaning of this event is to introduce you to other students you may not have met before and to build relationships and friendships for a better and more enjoyable school environment.
Who remembers Double Dare? Well, another event that Outside the [Box] put together last year was “Don’t Be SADD, Play Outside the Box.” In collaboration with Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), the club put on an event in St. Joseph’s Auditorium that was basically Double Dare involving a bouncy house, pies to the face, and trivia questions, plus much more. It was a successful event, not to mention fun and extremely messy!
Other little things the club puts together are tabling hours outside of Camelot. Candygrams are a staple for Outside the [Box]. Candy bags are made and for one dollar you can send anyone you want a Candygram. We put them in their mailboxes with a nice note from you, the sender. It is a nice surprise for the receiver and not to mention delicious! We even send to faculty and staff (for instance Annie in the Dining Hall with thanks for always being so positive and putting a smile on our faces).
These are just a few things the club has done in the past. In the future, look out for Life-Sized Candyland, a Pinkies-Up Tea Party, and much, MUCH more.
Our meetings are every Monday at 8pm in Albertus 211. Come join us to help spread positivity and a sense of community on campus!
