What does your school have to offer?


By E.J. Merlo


As a new student, not knowing anyone can be a scary thought. The feeling of being alone one campus and not having a sense of where you belong could make time you spend there unenjoyable.

At Avila University’s Student organizational fair students get the opportunity to explore many of the organizations and clubs the school has to offer, as well as a place to bond and build new friendships. Carol Frevert, the director of health services, agrees. She stated she felt that “it is important for new students who may feel lost to find something they are interested in and join an organization so they feel important and that they are a part of something.” She also thinks “it may help people who are a little shy to open up and make new friends.”

The Fair is a great way to find out important information regarding all the clubs/organizations as well as, a place to enjoy free food and drinks. Students can also relax and take in the entertainment provided through games, musicians, and artist. Many students enjoy socializing while the event promoters and club leaders try to encourage new members to join. Jason Baldwin, the director of student life, says the most important benefit in putting on the event is so “students get the opportunity to explore many different organizations we offer and get to meet the people that run those organizations to see what they might be most interested in.”


Everyone should attend this event both old and new student alike as it is a great way to kick off the school year.
