STUDENT ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION RSO Registration Information Initial Student Organization Registration 158 (September 10, 2018) New RSOs 18 Re-Recognized RSOs 155 RSOs increased from initial registration 15 Page 5 of 10 CAMPUS CONNECTIONS – STUDENT ORGANIZATION FAIR Each year, during Great Beginnings, the Center for Student Involvement hosts an annual student organization fair called “Campus Connections!” This year, the event was held on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Curris Center Small Ballroom. One table and two chairs are provided for each student organization that registers. This year, we had 30 student organizations register and participate.

Also I think it needs to be held in a more accessible, more widely seen space. We have been a part of a few of these and we saw the least amount of foot traffic and students at this one in comparison to other fairs in the past. Most students didn't know it was even going on and some didn't know where it was. But as a word of encouragement, we love these fairs and they are a great way to be seen by students, especially freshman, and get students plugged in. The location was inconvenient for those setting up as it was laid out in long rows in narrow space, making it difficult to get in and out. It was also in one of the least traveled spaces on campus, making it unhelpful for attracting individuals that didn't make a special effort to seek it out. I think that it could have been in a better space it wasn’t very approachable Page 6 of 10 RSO ORIENTATION The Center for Student Involvement believes that through proper training and the providing of accurate and appropriate information, all registered student organizations will become better equipped with the tools necessary to succeed and will be able to provide enriching activities that will only enhance student life at Murray State University. During the 2018 – 2019 academic year, all registered student organizations were asked to attend an orientation training program that provided updated an accurate information on office policies & procedures, upcoming events and deadlines, and the introduction of new resources available to organizations.

That is not the Fellows way. Fellows maximize the academic experience, while still fully engaging in the life of the University. Over the years, Fellows have served as Student Regent; as Internal Vice President, External Vice President, and President of Student Government; as Presidents of the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes; as presidents, Sing chairs, and other officers of fraternities and sororities; as presidents of the premed honor societies, of the BRH choir, of the Baylor Men’s Choir, and of the Mock Trial Team. Fellows have served as Welcome Week leaders and Community Leaders in dorms; worked on campus and off; dated (and married); gone on mission trips with Baylor and with their churches; worked with youth groups; led Steppin' Out; participated in varsity athletics, club sports, and intramurals; performed in choirs, bands, and orchestras; taken internships across the United States and abroad; presented research at national conferences . and we are leaving out a whole lot.
