Blog 12: Get Involved Fair

            At the Get Involved Fair, several tables are set up in order to get students involved on campus. Although the fair is open to anyone who is interested in joining clubs, I found the fair extremely useful as a freshman, since I was not too familiar with the clubs here at Stockton. I signed up for the American Sign Language Club, fencing club, the Biology Society, and Occupational Therapy Club.

The fair is handy in that you can sign up for as many clubs as you want, and this gives you a way to find what fits into your schedule for the upcoming semester. When I first decided to come to Stockton, I knew there were lots of clubs, but I was not aware that some clubs aim to help aid the decision of a career.

I’ve developed an interest in occupational therapy ever since my high school anatomy teacher recommended it to me, but it was hard to have my own opinion on it just by looking at the Wikipedia page for occupational therapy. After going to a meeting for the club, the graduate students answered any and all questions I had for them, like the aim of an occupational therapist or the types of classes they take as graduate student. There was strip the club went on, but I was unable to participate, and therefore I have even more of a reason to put my email address on the list to re-join the club.

As a sophomore, I plan to join the Quidditch team, which I would never think of joining before coming to Stockton. I also plan to work my schedule around the Biology Society and Occupational Therapy Club, and it would be extremely difficult to find out information about either of these clubs if I couldn’t put my name down on the sign-up list at the Get-Involved Fair that occurs at the beginning of each semester.
