Best Collegiate Events®: Team Building Activities for College Students

If you’re planning an event involving team building for college students, you’ll need something that will be enjoyable and impactful, keep them engaged, and be remembered for semesters to come. Over the past eleven years, Best Corporate Events has seen increasing interest in team building programming from institutions of higher education nationwide. To better meet that need, we identified the programs best suited to collegiate groups.

How Are College Team Building Activities Defined?

Our collegiate favorite programs span all categories, from Fun Competition to Charitable to Game Shows and Entertainment. Like all our programs, we tailor programs selected by college and university groups to optimize the experience for students, administrators, and faculty. 

These team events will strengthen trust and communication, solidify cohesiveness, and provide critical insights and applicable skill sets that can be used in both the collegiate community and the business world.

    What is a Keynote Speaker?

    Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

    Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

    In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

    As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
