Make sure you prepare all of your materials for the Day of Silence tomorrow!

Updated: Find materials for download here.

Juggling between homework assignments, extracurricular activities, and organizing a Day of Silence can be a lot! There are so many students who tell me how they spent weeks preparing for the Day of Silence only to be unprepared the morning of their event. From Day of Silence t-shirts being dirty or wrinkled, to speaking cards getting lost, there are a number of ways that your last minute prepping can go awry.

So, double check your to-do list tonight and make sure you'll be set to run a smooth event tomorrow. Here are a few tips to help you in your last minute preparations:

1. Make a to-do list of last minute tasks
2. The night before your event call all of the people helping you organize to make sure everyone is on the same page

3. Find, wash, iron and otherwise make pretty all of your DOS paraphernalia

4. Print out all of the materials you will need
5. Make sure your camera battery is charged
6. Double check your to-do list
