An Improvement? 'Fraid Not...

Well, we thought we had hit the low point last week with only two Casey students on Thursday, but we outdid ourselves (even more so than the Wednesday group that only had two students show up) and only one student showed up this time. It was impossible for the planned activity to go on as planned, considering multiple groups were needed for it to function as it was supposed to. Once again the majority of CU students had to leave because we were essentially unnecessary, and I had to leave with several other students. The lone Casey student who came to the meeting did seem pretty interested, but unfortunately for him, his experience was hampered by the lack of his fellow classmates. This also negatively affects the CU students who trek down to Casey every week, only to be told they can leave, while also potentially hurting everyone's final projects due to a possible lack of available material, depending on the students' individual projects. In terms of correcting the issue, the only thing I think can happen is try to do something particularly interesting to many students, and then advertising and recruiting beforehand to lure more students in. We did find out that two of the potential club members were out sick that day, but regardless of illness, we should still have more than a total of three students coming when everyone is healthy. If this cannot rectify itself soon, the entire program, curriculum, and class may be in jeopardy if the support, membership, and interest just are not there. Hopefully after Spring Break we will have more success!
