Johanna Höcetstaller, an international freshman at the University of Idaho, said it is important to get involved in school activities.
The Get Involved Fair at 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Union Building Ballroom provides students with an opportunity to see all of the different student organizations at UI.
Each organization will have a table to present who they are and what they do. Also, eight groups will have the opportunity to give a ten minute presentation/skit about their organization, Sadie Grossbaum, ASUI senator in charge of the event said. The groups who will present will be chosen based on the descriptions of the skits they submit.
Grossbaum said this will give organizations the chance to promote themselves, educate the campus on what they are all about and encourage new students to get involved on campus, all with the hopes of getting more people involved on campus.
“It is important to be involved in school organization because you make social contacts and friends,” Höcetstaller said. “It can help increase your job opportunities because you are seen as outgoing, and might be able to make job connections by being involved.”
The Get Involved Fair gives students the chance to do just that.
Grossbaum said there will be free ice cream at the fair, and the organizations attending are encouraged to bring toppings.
