TIPS

1. GO TO ALL CLUB FAIRS

Club fairs are the bread and butter to joining clubs, in order to join a club, you must go to club fairs. Normally, the fairs are located in a common or central building that is accessible to all students. Club fairs are important because, they provide you with all necessary information about all clubs available at your school. Club fairs provide you with the club name, meeting time and dates, the club’s advisor, as well as the club’s location. In addition, club fairs have club representative whom would make you feel welcome and educate you about the club by briefing you. Not only do club fairs make you want to join clubs but, they also stimulate your mind to brain storm ideas for new clubs you fell you school needs.

2. JOIN ALL CLUBS

I cannot stress enough the importance of joining all clubs, in college networking is the key to becoming successful. As a result, by joining all clubs on campus, you will be able to find this key and have a successful college experience. Joining all clubs allow you to meet other persons from all over the world.
