The American University of Kuwait’s Office of Student Life in the Division of Student Affairs held a clubs involvement fair that introduced new and current students to the various clubs and organizations on campus, and the different and unique aims and activities offered. The fair was conducted online through Zoom.

With 10 registered clubs in Fall 2020, each club’s president or representative was in attendance and spoke about what their club’s purpose was, what they had planned throughout the year, and what their personal experiences were with the clubs. Students had the opportunity to meet members of the clubs and organizations, as well as ask questions and further explore the aims of each club. 

Additionally, student members of Voice—a student-run magazine on campus—introduced the magazine and explained what their aims were for the current academic year. This also enabled the magazine members to recruit aspiring student writers and graphic designers who were interested in becoming a part of the magazine. 

Vice president for student affairs, Dr. Hanan Muzaffar praised the clubs’ efforts in persevering with the new virtual environment to continuously offer a space for fellow students to connect on shared interests, “Virtual Involvement Fair provided our students with the chance to explore ideas towards continuing their work in clubs regardless of the limitations imposed by the closing of campus. The students’ thrill in presenting their clubs and responding to questions from participants, coupled with the participants’ enthusiasm in joining these clubs makes this a very promising start for what is to come in terms of our clubs and organizations and their roles in enhancing AUK students’ experiences. This is indeed a new frontier, and I already see promise in the abilities of our wolfpack to take it head-on with the support and guidance of their faculty and staff advisors.”
