Students who wish to attend the Involvement Fair to see organizations they can join do not need to register or RSVP for the event. The Involvement Fair is a free event, open to all! Registration to table for directly advised student groups, faith-based organizations, and groups who provide involvement opportunities for undergraduate students closes on August 14th at 8AM. Eligible groups will receive the registration link on July 31, 2023. Unfortunately due to space, we cannot accommodate all groups/Departments.
