Student Activities Fair–Registration for Groups deadline –Fri., Feb. 1; Fair–Feb. 8
Dear Students,
The WSA will be hosting the second annual Spring Student Group Fair on Friday, February 8th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm in Beckham Hall. This fair will be an opportunity both for students to learn about and sign up for new students groups and for student groups to promote themselves to prospective members. All students are encouraged to come! Since all the groups at the fair will be open to new members, the fair will be a great opportunity to start getting involved in the community.
Due to the spatial constraints of Beckham Hall, there is limited availability for student groups, and we will not be able to accommodate every student group that wants a booth at the fair. This fair is geared towards active student groups that will offer a large role for new members in the spring semester. If you are a student group leader, in order to apply for a place in the fair, please fill out the following form (can be accessed only through Wesleyan e-mail) by Friday, February 1st at 11:59 pm:
Note that you must be either a registered student group or have filled out the student group online registration form to be eligible for a table at the fair. For information on how to register a student group and access the student group online registration form, go here: http://wsa.wesleyan.edu/groups/register/. If you feel that your student group does not need a booth at the fair, but you would like your group to be publicized in the fair brochure, please e-mail zmalter@wesleyan.edu and send one sentence about your group.
We will get back to groups by Sunday, February 3rd with a decision. Any student can attend the fair, and only student groups need to register. We look forward to seeing you at the fair!
Best, Zachary Malter, WSA President

involved with different activities on campus? Now you can be that person for an incoming first year student
and help make their transition to college life that much easier!
The WSA in coordination with SALD is starting the Cardinal Connect: First Year Student 
Social Connection Program for the upcoming year. We need rising juniors and seniors to
volunteer to be paired with incoming freshmen to serve as social and extra-curricular
resources. The goal is to help freshmen get involved with life here at Wesleyan more
easily by providing a formal connection with an experienced upperclassman. You would be
expected to meet with your freshman once per month to chat and help them out. Please fill
out and submit this form by May 20th.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at sebb@wesleyan.edu
