Melissia Schmidt
Associate Director, Wilson Commons Student Activities and Programming
I advise the Entertainment Programming student organizations - Campus Activities Board, UR Concerts, and Cinema Group – which plan many of the large scale campus events such as comedians, speakers, films, and concerts. I’m responsible for organizing and managing several College Community Weekends and traditional campus events such as Yellowjacket Weekend, Winterfest Weekend, Boar’s Head Dinner, and the comedy performances during Meliora Weekend. I also coordinate the ROC tkts and Fashionably Late programs. I have been working in Wilson Commons since 2001, first as a Graduate Assistant, then Assistant Director, and currently as Associate Director. I’m actively involved in the Association of College Unions International Region 2 Regional Leadership Team as Campus Life and Program Management Chair.
