Club Fair

On September 24th 2009 at 12:00 was the annual Club Fair hosted by the office of student life. The flier claimed that 170 clubs and organizations were showcasing their club and it was easy to tell that there was indeed over 100+ clubs showcasing that day. It was fascinating to see so many clubs and organizations at Baruch from greek life to honor societies, to academic societies. It shows us that Baruch has alot to offer. I was required to showcase the club I was an officer in that day so I was not given adequate time to venture around and sign up for different clubs that day, but I could see that many clubs gave out many freebies. Some clubs gave out free pens, to CD’s, to free Thai Iced Tea. I remember some of my friends getting the Thai iced tea where they were required to say some type of phrase on camera. Unfortunately I forgot what the phrase was nut it was somewhat amusing.
There were alot of students in attendance that day, and it was really good to see most of the clubs officers showcased their respective clubs. Because of the club fair, I was able to see what Baruch had to offer and that it wasnt just a plain old commuter school where we just come to school and go home afterwards. By joining these organizations, we have the ability to network with other members and form lifelong relationships and close friends through club meetings. From the vast array of clubs that showcased at the club fair, there is no reason that students cannot get involved in any club at Baruch College since there is a club for everyone. There are academic clubs such as the Finance and Economics Society, Accounting Society to more relaxed and non academic clubs such as Handball Maniacs and Archery Club. There is a club for virtually every student on campus.
