The Inter-Club Council program at Citrus College, will allow active clubs on campus to introduce themselves to freshmen and returning students in a two-day event.
Club Rush, will take place March 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Campus Center Mall.
This semester, 26 clubs remain active, including Foster to Famous, Alpha Gamma Sigma, and Chess Club.
ICC president Michelle Cram said last there were approximately 29 active clubs last semester, three less than this semester, so she hopes this semester the clubs remain involved.
"It fluctuates up and down," Cram said. "We have some clubs that leave and then we have a bunch of clubs that come in."
ICC is providing each club with a table and two chairs and it is up to each club if they want to participate.
Some of the clubs and organizations confirmed to participate include Foster 2 Famous Club, the Latinos Unidos Student Association Club, ASCC Volunteer Corps, Alpha Gamma Sigma, Citrus Cheer Club, Rotaract Club and Film Club.
Cram said in order to get the clubs excited for Club Rush, ICC has put together a booth decorating contest and as well as a promotional material competition in order for the clubs to get students interested in their club.
"The booth decorating is the most fun part for me, I really like to see all the clubs kind of promoting themselves," Cram said.
The Classy Cuisine Club, Chess Club, Film Club, Gamers Guild and Anime Club will be collaborating for Club Rush, combining their tables as one to make it bigger and flashier, said Chess Club and Gamers Guild member Michael Chen.
"
We are trying to draw more attention to us saying that we are a united group on campus," Chen said.
"We want to have everyone else join us as one and being more collaborative amongst clubs."
The duo will still have an individual presence.
The Gamers Guild set up a television to play video games, the Film Club will have movie viewing and Chess Club will have a chess table for people to play chess.
"[I want to] get clubs to have the determination to make their club the best," Cram said. "A lot of rules have been re-enforced and I just want all the clubs to be responsible and realize what their potential is and how big they can make their club."
ICC advisor Kyle Greenberg said he began advising the program in the middle of last semester, so this semester would be his first full semester as advisor.
"I'm a person who views my role as actually being about student development, to be about student education," Greenberg said.
"I think that student affairs and academic affairs which are like the two branches of colleges, are actually more compatible than people think."
Greenberg said he wants students to get a better college experience by becoming engaged through clubs and campus activities.
For those students who don't end up finding a club they like, they are always welcome to start up a new club, Cram said.
To start a new club, fill out the application online, recruit 10 members and find an advisor.
