Inclusion on campus

By: Paige Scofield

Western is known for having a wide variety of opportunities for its students’ education, but it also has a wide variety of opportunities for its students’ hobbies and interests. A student club organization fair was held in the Werner University Center on Jan. 19 to showcase some of the clubs that are on campus who are looking for new members. Katherine Macias-Torres, a sophomore nursing major, ran the booth for the Multicultural Student Union.
“I think it’s important to have these fairs, because it helps the students to know what’s available on campus, it helps students to kind of branch out of their comfort zones,” said Macias-Torres. “Clubs like MSU help to promote diversity, but it’s also a safe zone, it’s inclusion.”
