Fall into a club at the club fair

Around 15 student clubs are expected to take part in this year’s Club Fair, which will be held in the Main Mall from 3 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

The list of active clubs on campus has been updated through the summer term, said Student Events Coordinator Meadow McWhorter. Among them are the Alpine Racing, Gamers and Ceramics clubs.

This list may change if new clubs become active or current clubs become inactive during the fair, themed “Fall into a Club.” The list can be found at www.mhcc.edu/clubs.

“Clubs help students get involved at MHCC,” said Leksi Lizotte, the Associated Student Government (ASG) director of the Student Organizational Council (SOC). “Some even offer scholarships and field trips,” she said.

Lizotte said the SOC table will give index cards to students to track the different club tables they’re visiting. Students who visit 10 tables can enter their index card into a drawing for “Back to School” themed gift baskets.
SOC also will award a prize to the best-decorated club table at the fair.

Lizotte represents clubs by “providing direction, handling funding requests, helping clubs to advertise themselves, and organizing the club fair,” she said.

Anyone interested in starting a new club at MHCC can pick up a How to Start a Club packet from the SOC table at the fair, or at the Student Union.
