Student Club and Involvement Fair



Our true destiny...is a world built from the bottom up by competent citizens living in solid communities, engaged in and by their places.  David W. Orr
            The Fall 2015 Student Club and Involvement Fair was held on October 7th. This event is awesome as it gives student orgs a way to recruit new members in a face to face manner and allows students to see what opportunities for involvement exist on campus.
            About 30 organizations hosted booths at the fair this semester, including the Wildlife Society, SOLD (Students Offering Leadership Development), Ye Old Doctor Who Society, Circle K, League of Extraordinary Fandoms, Simple Truth, and more.
            The Latin Dance club kept it upbeat, playing music and preforming during the fair. The Gender & Sexuality Alliance (GSA) sold a wide variety of baked goods and advertised their upcoming “Ally Week” events where they educate students on how to be a better ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
            In case you didn’t know, UAF has over 130 active student organizations. You can see the full list of active student orgs at http://www.uaf.edu/woodcenter/leadership/organizations/active/
What’s even greater is that it’s super simple to create a new student org if you don’t find one that already exists that fits your interests!
           The student org fair is hosted each semester by the LIVE (Leadership, Involvement, and Volunteer Experience) Office. Students orgs just have to fill out an online form and show up.
