What are some good events to host in college?

I am looking for new ideas to implement in a college that we could host for the students esp. winter months.?

• I plan events at a University for the College of Information Science & Technology. I am new and looking to plan different events than they planned in the past. An Example of some past events are: "Bowling w/ the Dean." Going to Hockey/Basketball Games. Having Hot coco/tea in the lobby w/ cookie breaks. I want to think of something fabulous that everyone could become excited about, except I need outside help! The event would be in the time range of 5-8pm so it would include dinner. So, any dinner ideas or event ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks.

  Go for the Guinness Book of Records in some category. What is your school or region known for? Minnesota? Most people to simultaneously eat Lutefisk. Purdue? Cook and serve the largest beef stew (in a boiler, naturally).
