What is the Spring Involvement Fair?
Looking for a way to get involved? The Spring Involvement Fair is a tradition that takes place each January, giving students an opportunity to explore more options for their involvement. Student organizations will have individual tables set up throughout the MUB where students can check out the organizations.
The Spring Involvement Fair is a great opportunity for students to connect with many student leaders, discover organizations they might want to join, and become a part of an organization where they can find friends, fun, and great experiences! Best of all, plenty of Michigan Tech's Registered Student Organizations will have activities so you can learn more about them and how you can get involved.
With over 250 Student Organizations at Michigan Tech, there is something for everyone.
Any questions can be directed to rso@mtu.edu.
Are you interested in volunteering at the Spring Involvement Fair. Opportunities are available on GivePulse
