Re: Changing a culture of cynicism

Either I am misunderstanding what you wrote, or what you are observing isn't cynicism. Being reserved is perfectly acceptable. It is part of some cultures and subcultures, and certainly part of some personalities. While dancing and jumping around with mascots is common at FRC events, it is not mandatory. Cynicism would be sneering at people, or at FRC itself, saying "this is stupid", and refusing to participate in the core learning activities. Personally, I will dance with my students who want to dance sometimes, and I'll sit quietly with those who prefer to observe and soak it in sometimes. Both behaviors are okay, and neither should offend anyone.
