Club Day at PVCC: An Example of Diversity

Charles Stish, staff writer

One day a semester the clubs at PVCC come out and present themselves. 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 sweet candy, hoping to attract potential 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 are 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 several clubs, it is obvious that 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 will hold meetings and small events for their members and those interested.

The clubs at 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 that PVCC is about. Campus culture without the colorful contribution of the clubs would be stark indeed. Help keep the fabric of PVCC colorful. Be the color! Don’t be shy to join a club. If it interests you, join it! Go to a meeting; get active! Be a spark of color in the picture of PVCC’s amazing cultural and social diversity!
