Eagle Fest: Fall Student Involvement Fair (formerly known as Fajita Fest)

Eagle Fest is one of the many great opportunities made available to new and returning students during the first two weeks of Fall semester to explore over 200 student organizations at Eastern Michigan University. Student organizations set up reserved tables giving incoming students an opportunity to see what makes each organization unique. The fair is also a great way for new students to gather contact information from the various student organizations represented there, and find out how they can be involved in those particular student organizations.

In order to register your organization and to avoid problems down the road, please make sure the following are taken care of:

Your organization is in good standing with Campus Life and Event Planning.
Your organizations information has been updated with both offices.
