*Major events are those that require full publicity effort (invites, email, phone calls, publicity announcements) and are organized for a strong purpose and aim to draw a significant number of people. Examples include career networking receptions, freshman send-offs or prospective student receptions, a family picnic, and an outing to a major athletic event.

**Casual activities are those that require minimal publicity effort (email, phone calls, publicity announcements) and are geared to maintain interaction in a casual setting. Examples include young alumni happy hours, game watches, and casual luncheons.
