Pens, inflatable fun, picture key chains, notebooks, games and free stuff always signifies a good time to UNK students. Well, the Student Organization Fair was no disappointment in that department this year.
The student organization fair held Wednesday, Sept. 17, around the fountain on main campus was planned as a way for students to learn about all the different types of organizations they can get involved in at UNK. Many organizations participated this year including Student Government, LPAC, Phi Eta Sigma, Psychology Club and Chi Omega sorority.
Student Government hosted the event and had quite the turnout for the fun and freebies the student picked up. "We organized the event, and we just wanted to let students know that Student Government is great because we give a voice to students. We are the liaison between students and faculty," Cade Craig, junior Speaker of the Senate and Senator of at the College of Education from Minden, Neb. said.
Many campus organizations were available to answer questions about their clubs and the types of services they provide. Krystine Hoefer, president of Psychology Club and junior from Elgin, Neb., was promoting the Psychology Club.
"Psychology Club is a great organization to get involved in. We promote learning and activities associated with psychology," Hoefer said.
Most organizations were there to really let students know what they are about and what type of leadership or activities students can get involved with.
Britney Zeller, exercise science and psychology major from Elwood, Neb., was available to explain Phi Eta Sigma's community service projects and how to be involved in the national honors society.
"We are working with the Arc of Buffalo County this year as well as coordinating a book drive," said sophomore Rebecca Hoesing, communication disorders major from Laurel, Neb.
Next time you want to get your picture with Louie the Loper on a keychain or learn more about an organization, stop by a booth at the Student Organizations Fair and learn about all the great benefits of becoming involved at UNK.
