With the spring semester just getting underway, there will be so many opportunities to show your Panther Pride. Whether it’s a club event, a time-honored student recognition, or an institutional opportunity, here’s an overview of what’s to come this semester.
In January, stop by the Spring Involvement Fair on Thursday, Jan. 11 from 5:30-7 pm in the Albert M. White Gymnasium. Coordinated by the Office of Student Engagement in collaboration with the Activities Programming Board, the Student Government Association, and the Center for Student Success, this is a perfect opportunity to discover ways to get involved. ACPHS hosts more than 55 clubs and organizations, so there is surely something for everyone on campus.
