ClubFest Highlights: Bringing 600+ Students Together

Thank you to all the club officers who attended ClubFest last night and welcomed our new class of students to campus and to your club communities. We had over 600 students from across all Sloan degree programs in attendance to learn more about the opportunities available to them. The energy in the room was contagious and we’re looking forward to the semester full activities that are ahead of us.

Student Leader Drop-In Advising Returns!

Drop-in advising is back starting September 12th! Stop by E52-118 in the Student Life Office suite (E52-101) on Thursdays from 11am - 1pm for drop-in advising for Sloan student organization leaders. We can help you plan and execute your club activities, discuss club finances, marketing strategies, and more.
