Our local college has clinics to benefit their equestrian club.
Find what is the interest in your area, dressage, roping, barrel racing, whatever and find someone to give a clinic.
Your college may look around for some up and starting clinician, they won’t cost as much as an established one.
An established one may give your college a break too, never hurts to ask.
Who are you targeting to you sales? That’s going to matter becuase you need to sell something they want.
Try food – cookie dough is great around the holiday, pizza kits are too. These work great because you preorder and then distribute, not sell a supply.
I would not make it HR necessarily as that is very limiting.
Since you are in the Midwest, try a pop can fundrasier. It is easy to do and you can make money with it. Find some place to allow people to drop off pop cans. Then take them them in for the 5 cents. Advertize it in the local paper or even see if you can go door to door in the dorms. It worked in our small town for our marching band to raise like $500. Plus it is really easy. We just put it in the local grocery store parking lot and let people drop them off.

I see you are in the midwest. Do you live in a state that does pop can reimbursement? If so, I would suggest setting up collections in the dorms. Easy way to raise money if the dorms allow it.
We have deposits on bottles in our state. With a nearby college town, we put up signs that we would pick up bottles and cans on X day, at X time, at these listed locations. We also stopped at some frat houses who were glad to contribute sacks of bottles and cans. Our group was Pony Club, had adults attending the kids, so it was safe.
We collected LOTS of bottles and cans this way, then took them in to redeem. I think we filled 2 two-horse trailers, truck beds and half of a 4-horse trailer, after about 6 hours of time. Then more time putting them thru the machines to redeem them. We did very well with our collection, to add to our treasury. The money helped pay Rally fees, so kids could attend for minimal cost. We also hired Instructors to visit, give lessons, rate the kids for moving up levels. We also invested in lumber to let parents build club jumps for practices.
I thought it a very good money raiser, for the time spent. No one was enthused about selling stuff.

Consignment tack sale. They are getting to be few and far between around here. People bring a LOT of tack if they don’t have to babysit their own tables! Club in our area used to charge 15% consignment fee on sold items, plus I think $5 for the first sheet of items to consign and I think $1 a page for items after that too. You may want to open the night before and have a slumber party to take in consignments and watch the stuff overnight.
