Get Involved
Involvement Fair
The Involvement Fair is one of many opportunities to get involved in campus and student life. Student Organizations set up displays and have members available to talk one on one about what their organization does on campus or in the community. Involvement in co-curricular experiences is an important part of having a successful college career. The Fall 2024 Involvement Fair will take place on the Academic Quad on September 4th from 11 AM - 2 PM. Stop by to check out our student organizations and how to get engaged on campus.
At the start of each semester there will be an involvement fair. Information about the Fall involvement fair can be found here.
We encourage all students to find at least two organizations to be involved in. We suggest one for fun and one that is connected to your academic major or professional field.
If you have any questions please reach out to us at involvement@wcupa.edu
