With another fall semester beginning, the annual student involvement fair is quick to follow. This year’s fair will be held on Thursday, Sept. 9. It will be located on Campus Green from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event will be free to attend and open to all Winthrop students interested in joining a club or organization.
The Fall Involvement Fair is organized by event coordinator Ramonica Berry, graduate associate for student organizations and leadership at Winthrop.
The fair is a great way for students to get involved with campus activities to make new memories and friends.
“This event is being held to showcase the student organizations on Winthrop’s campus. Student organizations will be set up around the green for anyone to stop by and learn about them,” Berry said. “Students should attend the involvement fair if they are interested in becoming more involved on campus or just want a preview of what’s being offered.”
Although the student involvement fair highlights a majority of the clubs and organizations available on campus, the fair will not be able to showcase all of them.
“As of now, students should expect around 60 organizations to be present,” Berry said. “While this is not all the organizations we have active on campus, there will still be a variety of organizations that can interest all students.
“If there is not a student organization present that interests a student, they can always stop by DiGs 269 to learn more about other organizations we have or start their own if they would like.”
The event will allow students to go from club to club to see what interests them; however, this is a one-time opportunity to check them all out in person.
“Unfortunately, this event will only be in–person. Again, students are welcome to reach out at any time to learn about all the organizations we have to offer,” Berry said. “There will also be another involvement fair in the spring for them to attend.”
There are currently over 150 organizations available at Winthrop University. They range from sports activities to Greek life to religious ministries. There is something for everyone.
If students don’t see a club that interests them at the event, they can check out Winthrop’s website or go to DiGs 269 to find something that interests them. Students also have the opportunity to create their own club if they feel inspired to do so.
