Abstract
This research explores how Ashesi Students Council (ASC) can effectively manage campus
events to improve students’ social life. The purpose of this study is to unearth how ASC can use
events to create a sustainable vibrant campus with socially active students. Ashesi University
College has student owned campus activities where most events are organized and run by the
students themselves. In as much as they are working towards creating a vibrant campus, there is
still low attendance and less participation during these events. This study suggests that, effective
and efficient management of events on Ashesi campus leads to more student participation and
improvement of students’ social life. Accordingly, extant literature is reviewed on events
management to ascertain ways it can be improved to increase students’ participation. Using a
qualitative approach and structured interviews, data were collected from current Ashesi students,
alumina and some staff to find out their perception about Ashesi ASC events, what they think
must be done to improve students’ participation in ASC events for them to gain the benefits
therein. The study concludes with suggestions on how to use events to create a sustainable
vibrant campus with socially active students with enriched lives devoid of stress.
