Club representatives and their booths lined Raider Walk on Tuesday for Moorpark College’s 7th annual Club Rush, which continues Wednesday, Oct. 8.

The two-day event, which allows students to learn about the clubs offered on campus, featured booths from long-standing organizations like the Spectrum Club, the Engineering Club, the Honors Club, and the Business Students Association. Among some of the newer clubs represented were the Feminist Club, Young Peoples Socialist League, and the Outdoor Adventures Club.

Sharon Miller, adviser to the Associated Students that sponsored Club Rush, said that participation in clubs provides a way for students to get more involved with Moorpark College.

“It’s been proven time and time again that students who are involved and engaged on their campus activities do better in school,” said Miller. “Students helping students is our whole motto within the Associated Students.”

The Feminism Today club was created this year by Moorpark College student and Lady Raider volleyball player, Alyssa Wilson, who has a vision to one day see men and women as equals. The Psychology major had taken a Sociology of Gender class earlier this year that had given her the inspiration to spread the importance of a new-age dream that women and men are seen as same-class individuals; not one more than the other.

“Its not just women,” Wilson said. “I’m fighting for men, too.”

The meeting days are not set in stone, but every student is welcome to join and participate, according to Wilson.

Club Rush is sponsored by the Associated Students as a means to let students know of the many active clubs on campus. In addition to the 28 clubs that lined Raider Walk, another five are included in the official list of student organizations and five more are awaiting approval, said Christine Anderson, Associated Students organization director.

“I really want students to be more active this year, I feel like not enough students are joining clubs, and not enough students know about clubs,” said Anderson. “Its a big problem.”
