Club Rush was filled with everything from a wide range of cultural clubs to volunteer clubs! It was so wonderful to see all of the students have the opportunity to learn about the fun and unique ways we can get involved in the campus community, and we truly hope that everyone is excited for their clubs to start meeting. Let's use this as an opportunity to find and build connections with our student body, and embrace our diverse and unique school!
