Getting Involved at MAC (Part 7): Term Two is Not Too Late!
Getting Involved at Mac Part Seven: Term Two is Not Too Late!
Written By Danielle Lorenz
First semester has now come and gone. You have familiarized yourself with your new residence and the campus layout (or most of it...the basement of the Arts Quad is still of course another story [hell, it took me three years to figure it out]), and what all those damn acronyms for all the buildings mean. You have survived your first round of midterms, first university-level essays, and your first ever university level final exams. There was also Welcome Week, homesickness, getting lost several, if not many times, changed relationships with friends and family, new friends, the Freshman Fifteen (I told you so), and various random adventures and occurrences.
But maybe you did not get involved in any extra-curricular activities, or did not get involved as much as you liked. Either because you were too concerned about keeping up with your studies, or because you did not know what was available. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GET INVOLVED AT MCMASTER! You can check out the previous articles in this series for ideas, if you’d like.
Clubsfest II happens during Welcome Week in MUSC, starting in the morning and going practically all day. Nearly half of all the student clubs at McMaster will have a table and information for you. Check it out! Maybe you can find something that will suit your personality. You can also peruse the listings for all of the MSU clubs, available at the MSU website, here: http://www.msu.mcmaster.ca/clubs/listings.php. You can just send the club executives an email of inquiry and hopefully they will get back to you with information about their club.
Getting involved really helps to highlight your time at McMaster. It is also a way to meet new people, and beef up the resume, so get out there. Speaking of which...MacInsiders has some ways for you to get involved too! Contact us and ask how you can be part of the team!
