JON SHEPHARD TAKES ON 'DEATH RACE'
Clubs Day offered a variety of ways for students to get involved on campus Farrah Johnson NEWS EDITOR Ω The first full week of school kicked off to a great start last Wednesday with the launch of Clubs Day 2019. Students, staff and members of the local community flooded the basketball court in front of Old Main on Sept.11, where they learnt about a
number of clubs that offered them a myriad of opportunities. As far as extracurricular activities go, everything from veganism to volunteerism was represented at the event. Those in attendance were given the chance to join networking groups and afforded the opportunity to give back to the community or help save the environment.
Both new and returning students flocked from booth to booth picking up pamphlets, trinkets and treats as they signed up for the organizations of their choice, with the hopes of making this school year their best one yet.
