Club Day information
Charles Stish, staff writer
Once a semester, the clubs at PVCC come out and present themselves in hopes of attracting attention and gaining new members.
The clubs set up in the main building with tables, sign up sheets, and sometimes elaborate displays of flags, banners, poster boards, and bowls of candy, hoping to attract new members. The attractions work to entice passing students with questions about the club. This is Club Day, an important day for the social student body at PVCC.
Clubs can be essential to social life at PVCC as they offer extra-curricular activities and events for their members, and others, to join in on, creating a rich social environment. The clubs at PVCC are great for meeting like-minded people, making friends, and being more involved.
After interviewing members of several clubs, it seems no matter the diversity, they all share the same objective: to attract people with similar interests and create an environment where they can share ideas. Despite a similar overall objective, each club has different goals. Some are proactive, like Volunteer Club, who actively hold club events and are involved in the local community. Others take a more passive approach, like Board Game Club, and hold meetings and small events for their members and those interested.
The clubs att PVCC can be likened to paint colors on a palette: each a different color representing something unique in the diverse social picture of PVCC’s culture. Each one is important to strengthening the feeling of camaraderie, diversity, stewardship, and friendship PVCC is about. Campus culture without the colorful contribution of clubs would be stark.
Help keep PVCC colorful. Be the color and don’t be shy to join a club. If it interests you, join it. Go to a meeting and be active. Be a spark of color in PVCC’s cultural and social diversity.
