Clubs: Enriching Student Life at AUW

Nusaiba Binte Zakaria

The 20G rooftop was buzzing with zest and enthusiasm on 12th September from 12.30 PM to 3.00 PM. Why, you ask? Because the Club Fair was going on!

The Club Fair was organized by OSA in order to familiarize students, faculty, and staff with the different clubs at AUW. In a community as diverse as ours, having several clubs is a must. It provides students with the opportunity to participate in engaging activities and explore new things. The wide variety of clubs at AUW reflect the diverse themes and topics AUWians are interested in. This year there were 33 registered clubs at the Club Fair, which is the highest number compared to previous years.

Dr. Dave Dowland, Dean Rania Kassem, and Ms. Romana Akter inaugurated the Club Fair by cutting a cake. Each club got the opportunity to introduce itself in the beginning of the event, and students visited different booths throughout the event to learn more about each club, whilst signing up for their favorite ones. The EBs made sure that the booths were decorated with creative and colorful posters. To encourage the students in getting involved with extra-curricular activities and pursuing their interests, some faculty and staff also visited the Club Fair.
