Involvement Fair August 25, 2015 The Involvement Fair is a special event during Seminole Sensation week that showcases the various student organizations at FSU to help students get involved. A total of 240 student and university organizations participated. The 2015 Fall Involvement Fair was held on Tuesday, August 25, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the Oglesby Union Courtyard and Green. A total of 300 surveys were completed. The event was very hectic because of the traffic in the Union Courtyard and on the Union Green. Additionally, Seminole Dining hosted their annual Taste of Seminole Dining in stations outside of and in the Union Food Court. Student Activities also had a steady influx of students attending their Open House. The feedback from the Involvement Fair was mostly positive. The main student suggestion for improving the event was to add more room as well as fans to keep the crowd cool. Students who attended the tour of the Student Activities Center remarked that they learned a lot about the organizations on campus as well as opportunities to get involved. The Involvement Fair for 2015 was an overall success with a record number of organizations and students participating. Highlights:
Most students who completed the survey were freshmen (57%), female (58%), reside on-campus (58%), and were not members of a recognized student organization (69%). The respondents came to the event to learn about campus activities (61%), to meet new people and socialize (30%), and to enjoy the event (46%).
