Student Resource Fair and Club Fest Helping Students Get Involved and Stay Connected

Published: January 13, 2023

In preparation for the Spring 2023 semester, you may be ready to check out what 51ÁÔÆæ (51ÁÔÆæ) has to offer outside of the classroom! Student Affairs has put together opportunities for all 51ÁÔÆæ students to explore the different resources available on- and off-campus, while also enjoying fun activities and tasty food at 51ÁÔÆæâ€™s Spring 2023 Student Resource Fair and Club Fest.

Students will be able to learn about and chat with various clubs, organizations, offices, and departments on campus. The two events will give new and returning students an opportunity to learn about the 51ÁÔÆæ community and gain important information regarding campus life to have a successful, enjoyable academic journey.

Should you attend the Student Resource Fair and Club Fest? Yes! Here are five reasons why:

  1. Learn about different resources available on campus including Tutoring Services, Academic Advising, Counseling Services, and more.
  2. Get involved in extracurricular activities at 51ÁÔÆæ, like clubs and academic programs, and become part of the community on campus.
  3. Learn how participating in extracurricular activities and utilizing resources on campus can help you develop leadership skills, time management skills, and more.
  4. Make connections, meet other students with similar interests, and make friends outside of the classroom.
  5. Learn more about the culture of the College.

The Student Resource Fair will also bring together about a dozen off-campus community partners. These organizations are excellent resources to help students with basic needs, such as Valley Regional Transit, childcare and family support, financial support resources, low cost medical care options, and domestic violence resources.

There will also be free burritos (chicken, asada, and vegetarian) from Nampa’s La Pantera Market #2 for 51ÁÔÆæ students by visiting a designated number of tables at the fair and fill out their Resource Fair Passport.

That's not the only reason students will want to visit the fair’s booths and tables! Three lucky students who fill out the passport will be entered in a raffle for a chance to receive an Amazon gift card. Names will be chosen and contacted by Student Affairs following the events.

Can’t make it in person? Visit the Resource Fair virtually all semester long in myCommons on Blackboard!

For those with questions or in need of more information about the two events, contact Erin Ortiz at erinortiz@cwi.edu.
