Club Fair provides catalog of choices
September 25, 2019
Trifolds of information, piles of fliers, and officers from various campus organizations, filled the rotunda and main hallways on Tuesday for the school’s annual Club Fair during advisory and lunches.
“I felt really happy that I got a lot of members to join my club,” Liberty Lawyer’s Association president, junior Anoushka Majumdar said. “I think the fair was different from years past because there are so many more clubs than the last Club Fair; you can reach out to more people than just your friends, or friends of your friends, but also freshmen or new people to show what your club is about and get them to join.”
Allowing freshmen and new students to see what clubs on campus have to offer, junior Deva RajeevNair thinks the Club Fair is a good way for students to see what the school has to offer.
“The Club Fair is beneficial for freshmen because you are at a new school and you want to join clubs but you’re not sure which to join, and the club fair is a good opportunity to get exposure to the different clubs and choose which one is good for them,” RajeevNair said. “I was mainly looking for what interests me; creative arts, math, science. I was making sure it will be good for college applications because I’m not going to join clubs where you just play games or sit and talk, but ones that benefit me and my future.”
Bringing people of various beliefs and interests together, OXFAM officer, senior Shivani Desai believes the Club Fair helped people find community on campus.
“The Club Fair was really fun seeing all the different clubs and people there, it was really diverse and exciting,” Desai said. “It’s definitely gotten bigger, people are more likely to look into a club or even start one. I think because people are being more open and inclusive about school activities, there are different political clubs and causes to support.”Maria
