Involvement Fair

Who? What? When?

The Fall Involvement Fair will take place in August at the Peterson Events Center. Sign-ups for student organizations to host a table will be open beginning July and be open for 2 weeks, or when all tables are filled to accommodate the large number of student organizations represented at Pitt. If all tables are filled, a wait list will begin. Information about sign-ups will be communicated ahead of time so that every group is aware of when the form will be released.

For students looking to learn more about how to get involved at Pitt, the Involvement Fair is a great opportunity to learn more about clubs and organizations that interest you and how you can get involved. There will be a separate Club Sports Fair on in August on the Cathedral Lawn for those who are interested in any competitive or recreational club sports!

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to explore a world of exciting clubs, organizations, and communities waiting just for you. Whether you're passionate about art, sports, volunteering, or just looking for like-minded individuals to connect with, the Involvement Fair has something for everyone.

Why should you attend?
