Social clubs are partnering with the Students’ Association to create a campus-wide fun fair.
Set for the week of April 4, plans are in the works for Fun Fest, an event designed to provide students with activities to alleviate spring fever.
Trojan’s President Justin Prince, president of men’s social club Trojans, said the event is an opportunity for fusion and unity among various student groups on campus.
Duties for making the event happen have been distributed among clubs and other student organizations, which each will tap into their own unique resources to promote the event, said Prince, senior Bible missions major from San Antonio.
“Everyone has been partnering up in each of these different tasks, whether they be financial, advertising, working with SA or working with other student organizations,” Prince said. “We’ve all been trying to pick up these different tasks to work towards a common goal.”
SA Treasurer Chris Shim said as of now, SA is seeking possible funding opportunities for the individual activities.
“Last fall, the Congress granted funds for this event,” said Shim, senior finance major from Atlanta. “It’s just going to be a chance for students to come be laid back in the spring.”
Although no events have been set in stone, Prince said the project continues to move forward. The final product will resemble Backyard Bash-style events that social clubs have conducted in the past, but it will serve all of campus, he said.
“On top of that, they’re looking at having a concert and then maybe having someone coming in to speak,” Prince said. “The possibilities they’re still working on are pretty broad, but it will be similar to what campus has done in the past with Backyard Bash and JamFest.”
To get involved, students and others may help by participating on the planning committee.
“They’re working with anyone and everyone who is willing to help,” Prince said. “They are dealing with organizing more of the high-end side. For example, they’re looking at who they’re going to bring in, and then from that they’re trying to get other groups involved because the more that are involved, the better the event will be.”
