Student Involvement Fair Paper
Date Assigned: August 26th
Date Due: September 9th
Attending the student involvement fair was a great experience. On the surface, the fair’s main purpose was to provide an outlet for students to engage in on campus activities that may strike their interest; however, I found it to be much more powerful than that. This involvement fair was not only a way to showcase Penn State and its nearly 900 clubs, but also a way to draw from each student interests and talents that may have been unknown to them. After attending the fair and meeting a several different organizations, I know that I have become a part of something bigger, and will be able to have experiences and be provided opportunities like no other. Two organizations in particular made a lasting impression on me, one of which is the PSUTV Network. Coming to a big school like Penn state as a intended film major with little experience, I found the PSUTV Network to be an opportunity to expand myself, getting that much closer to my degree. The TV network strives to provide a new, hands-on experience for beginners right from the start. For that reason, I knew right away that this club would be a great start to my new journey here at Penn State. In time, this club will provide an entire foundation that I can use as a stepping-stone into the world to help me achieve my greatest goals of being a producer. Along with a film degree, I am also pursuing a business degree within the Smeal College of Business. At the involvement fair, I had the opportunity to meet other students from several business fraternities. Unlike traditional social fraternities, business fraternities function on the principals of professional development as well as philanthropic events. What is most appealing about these organizations is they provide a great way to take a big world, (such as Penn State) and turn it into a small family. The principals on which they operate would allow myself
