School Daze returns on Jan. 24 to 25 in the Lower Waterman of the VisTaTech Center. The event will feature over 30 clubs among them being Business Club, Math and Physics Club, Phi Theta Kappa, Project Playhem, Poke Pals and Table Top Club, as well as local businesses, campus student services and entertainment.
“Thirty-one clubs will have tables set up to promote their meetings and future events” said Todd Stowell, Director of Student Activities.
This event is particularly aimed at new students to get them more acquainted with the college and provide a friendly atmosphere to meet other students. Every attendee of the event should have something that strikes their fancy and are encouraged to peruse the various booths to find what they like and have fun.
