You have a lot of passion about wanting this program to succeed, and that is admirable. You have been putting a lot of time and effort into making it work. People do notice even though they might not say it. Also, you should remember that most of the people in the residence halls are freshmen, and they have little motivation to do much of anything besides live up the college experience (i.e. partying and drinking). I am sure that they will soon realize what a waste that is. ;)</p> I agree with Eric. You have a lot of passion about wanting this program to succeed, and that is admirable.

The FIRST secret to your success right now is to TOSS your expectations. They’re only FALSELY fueling your motivation and guaranteed to be foiled by turn out. So, thery’re not valid. Lose the expectations and gain a NEW motivation for doing this.

Obviously you want ROI for your successful fund raising and execution of the program. It friggin’ rocks. And ultimately, in res life programming, it’s not so much about quantity of attendees, but the community experience. Those few people who do show (especially if they’re consistent from showing to showing) probably appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.

For what it’s worth!
