Student Involvement Fair and Organization Showcase

The Organization Showcase will be held on Thursday, August 21, 2008 from 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm on the James M. Baker University Center front plaza.

The Organization Showcase is for student organizations that would like to present their group to the campus community by putting on a performance. To participate in the Organization Showcase groups must: (1) be recognized by the Department of Campus Life for the 2008 – 2009 academic year, and (2) submit an Student Involvement Fair and Organization Showcase registration form.

Due to time constraints, each student organization will be allotted a maximum of seven (7) minutes to perform. This includes all set-up, performance, and break down (some rules apply).

Performances must be in good taste. If your performance requires music, it needs to be clean and edited for language and content. If you are using a CD (audio or visual) for your performance, it must be submitted to the Department of Campus Life by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, August 19 for review. Lastly, each group will be required to meet with the Department of Campus Life on Wednesday, August 20 at 3:00 pm to discuss the stage and area layout, any special performance requirements and music (if applicable).

Performing organizations will be expected to stay for the entire duration of the showcase. Check-in for the Organization Showcase will begin at 5:30 pm on August 21.
