After the Activities Fair: Getting Involved in Clubs Mid-Semester

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emory chapter.

In the midst of adding, dropping, and swapping while trying to figure out a part-time job and the best places to study, you may have missed the Student Activities Fair. Don’t fret! Emory makes it easy for any Collegiette to get involved. Here are some ways to make sure you don’t miss out on Skydiving trips, volunteering at the local animal shelters, writing for campus publications and much more!

1. Check the LearnLink Conferences icon on your FirstClass desktop. Clubs all have Learnlink Conferences and you can find many there. One you find your club, right click and hit “Add to Desktop” and stay up to date on meetings and events posted there!

2. Check Facebook. Many Emory organizations have joined the social network and have groups or pages you can join or “like.” This makes it easy to stay updated while you are checking out your newsfeed.

3. Get in the bubble! Check out emorybubble.com for events and links that will let you know what groups are putting on around campus and beyond!

4. Search the rest of the web. Some clubs at Emory even have their own websites! A quick search will direct you there where you can find club president contact information and more.

5. Hit up Wonderful Wednesday. This weekly event is a great chance to get in-person contact with club leaders and talk to them about what they do.

6. Start your own! Can’t find a group that fits your interests? Contact College Council and get going on making a club of your own!

Jessica lives her life at several speeds. She talks too fast, eats too slow and over-analyzes too much.  When she’s not telling long-winded stories, sitting alone at the dinner table, or staring off into space, Jessica loves all things creative. Screenwriter, play director and poet at age 9, songwriter and choreographer at age 16, now, at 23, all she really wants to do is write, help others, and post Instagrams.  As a social media coordinator for multiple fashion brands, and a post-grad writer for Her Campus, she gets to do just that. Jessica is a Midwestern girl from the suburbs of Chicago, but she fell in love with city living during a summer internship in the Big Apple, and now calls NYC home. Jessica loves chocolate milkshakes, dance parties, Chippewa Ranch Camp, Friends re-runs, Chuck Bass and of course, spending time with her fans (read: family and friends).
