As students flood back to campus and classes begin, now is the best time to start fresh and find new ways to get involved in Auburn’s expansive selection of clubs and organizations!  

To provide direction and kick off the Spring 2025 Semester, Student Involvement hosted their annual Spring Involvement Fair on January 15. Representatives from a range of clubs gathered in the Melton Student Center and Brown-Kopel Grand Hall to present their niche and recruit new members to join. Over 100 clubs were present, and about 750 students attended the event. Overview shot of the Melton Student Center Lobby as students browse tables at the Involvement Fair

The Melton Student Center was bustling as students moved from table to table, exploring the eye-catching signage, acquiring free merchandise, and learning more about the endless interests of their fellow students. There was something for everybody: from international student unions to major-specific programs, club sports teams to religious organizations.  

One of the event organizers, Leah Porch, said, “The process of preparing this event was so much fun! Our team’s goal was to promote organizations students can get involved with in a convenient way.”  

After the fair, Porch concluded, “Students walked away with t-shirts, stickers, key chains, and so much more when the fair was over. It was such a fun day, and we hope to see everyone back next year for the Fall Involvement Fair!”

If you missed the Involvement Fair, or you still want to find out more, no worries! There are still plenty of ways to get connected and involved this semester. To begin, consider meeting with one of our Involvement Ambassadors. They are here to help. Simply make an appointment, or walk-in, and they would be happy to assist you in finding exactly the right club for you and your interests.  

Another option is to explore our website. Go to AUinvolve and navigate to “Find Organizations.” From this page you can find every active club at Auburn. For a more narrow search, select the categories tab on the left side of the page. This allows you to narrow your search. Select your college for organizations related to your major and career, or filter by interests to find your place in the 545 clubs listed. 

We encourage you to take this chance to dive headfirst into a new semester, a new club, and new friendships. Auburn is better when we are standing together, whatever that avenue of camaraderie may be!
