The next few weeks are full of free events, all geared to welcome you to campus for the first time or welcome you back if you are a returning student. Take a look at what's in store for the first two weeks:
I want to especially draw your attention to the Volunteer Fair on August 29 and Fall Fest on the 30th. The Volunteer Fair is set up with more than 20 community agencies on campus to recruit volunteers for the upcoming year. Whether you are interested in volunteering with pets, seniors, low-income families, outdoor/recreation, or kids, we will have an opportunity for you to get involved in the community and make a difference! Volunteering is a great way to get your foot in the door at a local agency, network with people in a field you're interested in, and of course, give back!
Fall Fest is another program designed to help you find your niche on campus. It's our big kick-off festival that includes booths from all kinds of student organizations, departments, and offices on campus. It's a way for them to get their name out there and for you to learn more about how to get involved ON campus, not to mention the number of free prizes, giveaways, games, and more that you'll receive at the festival!
Other highlights include an ice cream social with the campus deans, free airbrush t-shirts (get there early to make sure you get a shirt!) and of course, free Bingo in Schwarm Commons! Who said Bingo wasn't cool? What better way to spend your time between classes than winning cool prizes like an MP3 player, dvds, and gift cards??
We hope you take advantage of the upcoming events as you settle in to a new class schedule and a new year. As always, stop by 122 Schwarm Commons for more information!
