Enthusiastic students gathered outside the Campus Center at Moorpark College to learn about various clubs and their activities and possibly join one or more of them.
Club Rush was a great success with club members reporting that they exceeded their goals for interesting potential members after the two hour event that started at 11 a.m. on Feb. 9.
The Moorpark College Business Students Association was one of the many clubs that participated in Club Rush this year. Michelle Sanguinet, a 19-year-old business finance major, and several other BSA members enticed students to join their club by handing out flyers and talking with students about what goes on at their meetings and how their club benefits its members.
Sanguinet was “very excited” to have “exceeded their goal for signing up students.” The BSA meets every other Wednesday at the Technology building in room 109. Their next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 23 at 3 p.m.
The Student Nurses Association used Club Rush to both find potential and to fund raise to buy equipment and help pay for graduation and conferences. Isabel Jimenez, a 27-year-old nursing major, said that Club Rush met her expectations.
Connor Weidle, a 19-year-old chemistry major and president of the Ultimate Frisbee club, was also at Club Rush to raise student awareness of his club.
“We were a new club last semester,” said Weidle. “I think we got a good response today.”
The Ultimate Frisbee Club meets every Monday at 3:30 p.m. on the soccer field.
The Moorpark Environmentally Responsible Group Effort was also involved in Club Rush this year. Their Vice-President, 32-year-old environmental engineering major Jonathan Foote, was at Club Rush not to hand out paper wasting flyers to students but instead give them a healthy fruit snack. MERGE meets every Monday at 3:30 p.m. and Thursday at 2:30 p.m. in room 222 of the Physical Science building.
