Activity

  • One of the biggest events on campus is Reign or Shine, a dance competition hosted by FINEST club, Filipinos in Newark Engaging in Sociocultural Traditions. As part of e-board, I was in-charge of organizing the event including reserving the venue, inviting dance teams, the judges, the hosts, security, vendors, etc. Everything was planned properly except the contracts. At the day of the event, we needed consent and release forms which we did not foresee in advance. This caused the event to be delayed for a couple of hours due to legal reasons. It was important that the performers sign the release forms and assume responsibility for all damage and harm to themselves and remove NJIT from the responsible parties before the event starts. In order to fix it, we had to bargain with the office of student life and also talk to each performer and have them sign the forms and contact their insurances before everything was cleared to start.
