Getting Involved!

So after Day 1 of Orientation here at the U of A I'm definitely feeling the volunteering vibe. I think I definitely want to get involved with something more long term this year. Wed-Fri is Week of Welcome, which I'm also lending my time to, and I think it would be worth my while to go around campus and see what else is out there. Yes we had clubs fair today and I really should have taken a better look around, but even so, not all the student organizations were represented there, I know there is a lot more. So I need to do some research.

But at the same time I almost feel like I should wait a bit and see how balancing school, sports, work and my social life will work out. But I definitely want to get more involved on campus and meet more people. If not volunteer then at least just spend time on campus! Like explore the buildings and such. Really get to know it. 

So we'll see. At least I'm at that point where I want to do it not because I want to put it on my resume. I also want to climb the "ranks" and be in a leadership position, I want to work on my leadership skills. Orientation is a good start, working with a partner, but it can only do so much.

Any involvement coming from any of you on campus or elsewhere this year?
