Virtual Event Suggestions

There have been many creative event ideas executed throughout higher education and the
JMU community. Here are some of our favorites that can be adapted to fit your group’s interests
and goals.

 Art Class – Is there anyone on your team who has a unique art skill that can be taught via
video? Be sure to theme creations based on JMU or your specific group!
o Drawing
o Painting
o Knitting
 Behind the scenes tours – do you have an alumni or member with special access to a
place of interest to your event attendees?
o Museum
o Art Gallery
o New building on campus
o Classrooms on campus
o Labs
o Office spaces
o Test Kitchen
 DIY Craft Tutorials – Make some cute JMU gear to rock around campus or decorate your
home!
 Faculty Talk – is there a special faculty member loved by alumni who can give an update
from the field?
 Interview / Q&A Sessions – Use this format to keep event attendees informed, create
excitement for what’s to come and understand what is top of mind for your audience
 Performances – Is there anyone in your organization with musical talents?
 Pride Challenges – Create fun challenges like wear purple on Fridays or post a picture of
your pet for event attendees to engage throughout the week.

making homemade empanadas!
