Do you think Club Rush encourages students to get involved around campus?

“Yeah definitely, especially if youʼre going to a community college like Pierce, you see that there are other things to do. It definitely encourages first-year students like me to get more involved.”

-Bella Aguilar, 18, Political Science

“I used to be in a club called MEChA about two years ago and we did a couple events for them, but they could really use more promotions at the school to encourage more student engagement.“

-Daniel Dabdoub, 24, Communications

“I think that the [club members] need to be more involved like that to really be inclusive. They have to step out of their comfort zones, step out of the tent, and say hello to people. That way you make it more of an actual conversation instead of just ʻhey, hello, sign upʼ and thatʼs it.“

-Bobby Reyes, 25, Environmental Science

“Yeah, I think so because everybody has a chance to look at what clubs there are and see what interests them. Instead of looking at a piece of paper, you can see what people are in the club, really get to know it and see if youʼll enjoy it. “

-Myles Tsutsui, 18, Mechanical Engineering

“It actually does because not many people know about the clubs on campus. They arenʼt really advertized so having booths to show what your club is about and to get people to join, I think is a great help. “
