be held on the Norlin Quadrangle
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., having
outgrown its prior location in the
UMC, Bell said.
“We’ve had nearly 100
organizations (at the fair) in the
past, and we’re on track to have
more this year,” Bell said. “It’s an
opportunity for students to get
involved, without having to track
down student groups on their
own.”
Along with hundreds of tables
with representatives from student
organizations, the fair also will
have free food, entertainment and
prizes, which will be given out in a
“creative way,” Bell said.
