Stockton puts together lots of events throughout the beginning of the year to try to get the students, especially incoming freshmen, involved with activities. One of the multiple events to try and get the students involved that I attended was actually named “The Get Involved Fair”. The Office of Student Development and the Office of Service Learning were the two organizations that held this event. It was a huge event, held on the 16th and 17th of September, that succumbed the whole academic building and tons of groups and clubs were there basically advertising themselves to be joined. I thought that this was a great idea because it was a great place to see all of the many clubs Stockton has to offer and you could even leave your name and contact information so that the clubs could contact you with meeting information.
While I was at the fair, I signed up for a lot of clubs and groups. One group that I liked in particular was the Disney Association. I plan on attending their second meeting that’s coming up this Tuesday, September 30th. With the Disney Association, you can sign up to intern in Disney World for a semester and it seems like a great experience. I would love to work at Disney because it’s my favorite place in the United States. Without the Get Involved Fair, I may have never known when the meetings would take place and may have never actually gotten involved with that group like I wanted to.
Along with the Disney Association, I also found many other clubs like the Italian Heritage Club, the Admission Ambassadors, and Greek Life interesting. I’m very excited to get involved on campus and hopefully meet lots of new people with common interests as me. I also hope that joining these clubs that interest me will help me build skills that I can use for the rest of my life. If you missed the Get Involved Fair this semester, they hold them every semester so you will still have another chance to get involved. Even without the fair, it’s very easy to find out about clubs and groups on campus and if you contact them they’d most likely gladly give you information about when and where their meetings are held.
