Hundreds of students came through the Reitz Union lawn to check out some of UF’s organizations and get free pizza at the Spring 2017 Student Organization Fair on Wednesday. The fair was hosted by the Department of Student Activities and Involvement and the Involvement Team. It ran from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Organizations and clubs, from the Hip-Hop Collective to the UF Data Science and Informatics Student Organization, tabled on the lawn to give information to prospective club members. Whether it was geocaching, Japanese culture, a club for first-generation college students or the Theatre Strike Force, there was a booth at the Spring 2017 Student Organization Fair helping students get involved on campus.
