Whether you juggle, fly rockets or want to talk about heavy metal music, there’s a club for every Terp. Actually, about 900 student organizations and clubs are registered at the university—and many of them will be represented at the annual First Look Fair today.
Rescheduled from last week (due to rain) and trimmed to one day (to avoid overlapping with Yom Kippur), the event run by the Student Organization Resource Center is an outdoor bazaar of extracurricular activities. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on McKeldlin Mall, academic societies, cultural groups, sports clubs, advocacy groups and more will be wooing passersby to consider joining.
The prospect of finding your niche may seem overwhelming, but we’re here to help you avoid aimlessly weaving through the crowds. See our map indicating locations of groups, and our highlights of some of the most interesting and unique participants.
