ASUCC helps boost club enrollment
The ASUCC Student Leadership Team held a club fair for campus clubs to recruit new members and increase involvement on campus.
“The club fair was a great success,” President Sarah Gordon said. “We pushed for clubs to have interaction with students at the fair, and they brought it.”
More than eight clubs had tables at the fair on Jan. 29, including the Veterans Club and the National Student Nursing Association which formed Jan.27.
The Veterans Club was formed by Paul Eckel, who hoped to develop more resources and social opportunities on campus for veterans.
Secretary Courtney Evans said, “The Veterans Club will be looking toward creating a stable social environment for Vets, raising money for the new Veterans Center and other activities, such as maybe a camping trip,”
Evan and Eckel are working to establish a meeting time. Evans encourages those interested in the Veterans Club to speak with Paul Eckel or Ann Abel, in the financial aid office.
According to Evans, non-civilians are welcome to join the club with a “sponsor” or a veteran who recommended them to the club.
The Veteran’s club will be supporting the “30 Paintings in 30 Days” auction Feb. 13 in Danny Lang to raise money for the new Veteran’s Center. Local artist and teacher Linda Aman donated 30 watercolor paintings for the cause.
Another club formed Monday was the UCC chapter of the National Student Nursing Association. Sebastian Randall, nursing student, went before ASUCC student leaders to form the club.
“The club will bring potential scholarship opportunities, look good on job applications and reach out to students interested in applying for the nursing program,” Randall said.
Randall is also still working on arranging a meeting time for the NSNA.
Other clubs involved with the club fair were Phi Theta Kappa, Debate Club, Engineering Club, The Mainstream, and the Business and Entrepreneurship Club.
Several potential clubs working through the process of becoming a club were represented as well, including a Chess Club, Garden Club and several others.
Gordon hopes to continue to see student involvement on campus increase.
