virtual programs

From previous conversations, we know the needs on campus are all over the board and want to work with you to find solutions that fit yours. Many are moving to virtual learning spaces. If you are one looking to support your students by programming virtually, know that we have programs already set up and ready to go for these performers:

    As many sectors of the world grind to a halt, marginalized students’ needs do not—instead becoming only more urgent and even intensified. So what do we do? How can we ensure that we remain responsive to them during this difficult time?

    This virtual gathering is focused on problem-solving, idea-sharing, and finding positive solutions to the shared concerns and challenges of navigating this new normal.

    (A great program idea for student leaders, educators, staff, and administrators at both the high school and college level.)

Tommy Bennetti, a local crime boss, has hired you to discover the identity of two shooters who committed a mob hit at his club last Tuesday. Tommy’s tech guy has hacked into the police database to give your group access to all the collected evidence. Your group has to sort through all the evidence before the cops trace the connection back to Tommy. The evidence can be accessed online in groups or individually and teams will have access to group chats if team members are not in the same location. All clues are delivered electronically and players can participate from anywhere with a laptop or tablet. For the duration of the game, players will have access to select mob members via chat to answer any questions as they sift through the evidence.

The Stress Test was developed to break the stigma of mental health awareness on campus, and facilitate a custom conversation about mindfulness, mental health, & self-care. 

From Day 1, The Stress Test has reinforced the mantra “You Are Not Alone” from campus to campus. Now, more than ever, that message rings true, and we have adapted and reacted to the current climate to offer smaller, more targeted Student Leader Sessions. 

Student Leader Sessions: 

Due to current circumstances, many Student Leaders are left feeling without purpose. Organizations & groups have been forced to cancel due to social distancing. The Stress Test is offering workshop sessions for Student Leaders to guide them in disseminating information and resources to their peers. 

Through online meeting platforms, resources will be shared on topics such as: 

• Short Term & Long Term Goal Setting
• Self- Care
• Meditation
• Mindfulness
• Organization
• Facilitating Conversations with those in need. 
• Beneficial Reference Material (YouTube Channels, Podcasts, Books)

Student Leader Sessions are customized and tailored to each campus, as needs are unique to each location. Our main objective during this unique time is to provide students with a sense of purpose, the tools to grow and the resources to share with their peers. 

• Private experience in the comfort and safety of your home.
• Allows a community to dance together in social distance.
• Glowers can interact with Virtual Glow and colleagues, bringing your community closer together.
• Live DJs are behind a full size visual production with real tour grade equipment and lighting designers, just as in our physical experiences.

These activities will be drop-shipped to you.
