I enjoyed the variety of events that the different student clubs and organizations hosted on campus - it’s hard to pick just one that was my favorite! With how many events are organized throughout the year, you’re bound to find something you’ll be interested in. Not only are these events a nice way to unwind after a day of classes, but they’re also great for connecting with fellow Yotes, professors, and others.
