For Participants:
For the past 12 years, the Office of Activities and Engagement hosts between 40-60 non-profit organizations on campus. This event is a great way for these community organizations to be introduced to the campus community and for attending students to learn more about community agencies, and find volunteer, work-study, and internship opportunities.
This year, the Office of Activities and Engagement welcomes the addition of Registered Student Organizations to the Involvement Fair. There is currently over 200 active clubs on campus. This event is a great way to educate students about Registered Student Organizations and recruit new members.
The Office of Activities and Engagement will provide each participating organization with table space, up to two chairs, and one campus parking permit per day (available only for Community Organizations).
