Role: Experiential Producer
THE RISING PROJECT
The Rising Games is an annual event held every Earth Day to bring awareness to the climate crisis through games and activities for students campus-wide. With over 500 attendees every year, this event has become a staple for the group and a project I’m extremely proud to have developed.
As the creator and producer of the annual event, I worked with numerous external vendors, campus event coordinators, budgets, risk and safety, and more to produce the event for multiple years.
