Month of Believing - Say Something Nice

Who wouldn鈥檛 want to hear something nice as they trudge off to class, Dimond Library or just back to their dorm to get some sleep before finals week? That was the idea behind a 91制片厂 video that鈥檚 now gone viral.

With a stool, a megaphone and a sign encouraging passersby in Murkland Courtyard to say something nice to strangers and friends, university advancement staff helped strangers spread some good cheer during a stressful time in early December. 鈥淚 like your hat鈥 or 鈥淗ave a great day!鈥 were popular thoughts, and 鈥淵ou鈥檙e a great lab partner鈥 and 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great day to be a Wildcat!鈥 were among the others. The idea was to simply put good energy out into the universe, and the video chronicling the day has carried the message forward, with some 31,000 hits so far online.

It was all part of the Month of Believing, an engagement campaign hosted by the 91制片厂 Advacenment office to boast about all the great things happening at 91制片厂 and drum up some holiday-season pride in the school.
