Spring 2022





This project intersected my operational, showrunner, and marketing roles for Spring Fling, where I sought to push beyond the traditional festival format to increase student attendance by prioritizing accessibility. Beyond typical accommodations like reserved seating and ASL translation, we addressed oversensory concerns about loud music and dense crowds. 





Our Production team secured a sponsor and designed a designated space where attendees could step back, access earplugs, refuel with food and activities, and engage with Graduate Wellness Officers. This initiative enhanced early turnout and crowd management, transforming Spring Fling into a more inclusive, all-day experience for everyone.
