Campus Life Night
Hosted in the Fall and Winter semester, Campus Life Night is an event for student organizations to table and show off their organization.
This event is open to the public and it's primary purpose is to allow student organizations the opportunity to showcase to the student body. Student organization leadership can request a table as long as they are available on the Campus Life Night webpage. The event is hosted in the Fall semester before classes begin on the Valley Campus in Lot H1 and in the Winter semester in mid-January on the Valley Campus in the Kirkhof Center/Library. Space is limited and historically spots run out about 2 weeks before the event date. Organizations must be registered and fully-active to have access to table at the event.
