It also might be worth having a 10 things to do while a student at X. We'll see it play out and stay abreast of the location-based revolution! Best, Michael Staton Hi Michael,

I think that setting up scavenger hunts is a good way to get students plugged into their new community during orientation.

It also might be worth having a 10 things to do while a student at X.

We’ll see it play out and stay abreast of the location-based revolution!

Best,

Seems it would have to extended outside campus walls to the "surrounding area" which adds the local business element. Becoming mayor of my library and dorm room is a fun game and prob smart way to kick off an active community, but not sure I see where else it can go other than the cool factor.
