Proposal: End of academic year

My name is John and I am a senior student of industrial enginnering. I read about recent email regarding the celebration of the academic year. In that email you proposed three different possibilities, but I have to admit that I find them unsuitable for such an occasion.

In first place, you mentioned a dinner. That is exactly what we selected last year, and you should be perfectly aware of the result: only a tenth of all the student community participated in the dinner. In my opinion that is unacceptable, because I feel that the end of the academic year is a celebration for everyone of us. I do not think we sholud select again the same event, and in my opinion we should try a new option to try to gather as many people as possible.

Another possibility was to organize a concert. I think that this is an excellent idea, but it has two drawbacks: in one hand, to find a good band needs considerable budget, and I suppose the student council does not have much possibilities. On the other hand, I think it would be difficult to find an artist that attracts a big portion of the student ccommunity, because everyone have different tastes and we need to reach as many people as possible.

A disco event should be much more suitable in this aspect, but as you know the government has forbidden the college to do any kind of night party. There have been problems with other colleges, and we risk serious repercussions if we decide to do a disco event.

I suggest to do a sport event. From my point of view this is the best option: it needs a low budget, it would gather most of the students, and it would be very interesting and entertaining. We could do different tournaments (tennis, soccer, etc) and give prizes to the winners.

Thank you for reading this proposal, I hope that you find it useful for selecting the event. I am sure it will be a great event whatever option you choose.

Best regards.
