Expanding Horizons: Stockton’s Get Involved Fair

On Tuesday, September 19, tables lined the academic halls of A-J wings to establish the lively, exciting environment of the Get Involved Fair.

When planning to attend the Get Involved Fair, I created a list of what I wanted from a club. When I entered the Fair, I sought clubs that offered leadership opportunities, music appreciation, authorship opportunities, and characteristics of my favorite popular culture concepts. The Get Involved Fair provided outlets for all my interest and more.

I found leadership opportunity in several clubs. Alpha Lambda Delta, an honor society, offers opportunities to serve. Circle K’s friendly members informed me of their service projects. The College Republicans, alongside their wide array of free posters, stickers, and buttons, encouraged me to explore my political affiliation with them. Additionally, there was the Student Senate.

Many tables featured the opportunity to enjoy music. The Stockton Music Union offered the opportunity to collaborate. The Stockton University Pep Band was perhaps the most engaging table when I surprised even myself in enrolling in the corresponding Pep Band course.

In the main foyer were groups that embraced literature and writing. The Argo staff immediately provided me with the opportunity to contribute to the paper. The Literature Club was happy in seeing me interested. I was thrilled to discover Stockpot, Stockton’s literary magazine and hub for all things creative.

To satisfy my passion for entertainment media, I examined the hallways of I and J. There I found the Anime Club and Gaming Club. I was most excited to find Stockton’s Quidditch table. I was beyond ecstatic to learn about the upcoming practices and cups.

The Get Involved Fair was a positive experience for me. As a Freshman, it is reassuring to know that I am encouraged to become an integrated member of the Stockton community.
