Finding ways to get involved on campus can be daunting. There are so many organizations, resources and opportunities available to students that it can be difficult choosing a starting point. Well, fear no more! We\u2019ve put together a list of five great starting points for getting involved on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to get involved on campus is to join a student organization that fits your interests. Syracuse houses more than 300 registered student organizations<\/a> spanning from social, cultural, political and academic clubs \u2014 including dance troupes, magazines, club sports and so much more! Attend the student Involvement Fair and meet people from all of these organizations to find ones that are the best fit for you! The Involvement Fair will be from Sept. 9-11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each day of the Involvement Fair<\/a> will have a different group of organizations tabling. On Wednesday, Sept. 9, there will be cultural, performing and special interest organizations. On Thursday, Sept. 10, there will be honors, religious and Greek Life organizations. Lastly, on Friday, Sept. 11, there will be public service, publications, club sports and sports interest organizations. The fair runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day on the Quad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Intercultural Collective<\/a> is home to various spaces that focus on connection and belonging. The Collective works with units across campus to promote and celebrate student belonging and connection. Programs are open to all eligible students without regard to race, gender, national origin or other characteristics. Teams within the Collective include the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the biggest misunderstandings students have about the Barnes Center<\/a> is that it is just a gym \u2014 this is very far from the truth! While the Barnes Center has an incredible gym, they also offer resources for physical and mental health, as well as many indoor and outdoor activities and outings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A crowd favorite is Pet Therapy<\/a> \u2014 come pet some dogs and decompress during the week! Additionally, check out all of the outdoor adventure<\/a> activities, especially during the fall. They offer horseback riding, hiking, white water rafting and more all at a low cost or free for students. You can also attend a free group fitness class, from yoga to pilates to cycling, they\u2019ve got it all! Be sure to sign up for these opportunities through the Wellness Portal<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for a fun event or late-night activity with friends? Student Engagement programming is your best friend! Throughout the semester, Student Engagement offers fun events at a low or no cost to students. Past activities include late-night ice skating and trips to Dave & Busters! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to keep checking the Events and Activities webpage<\/a> to see what’s coming up next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
