On Feb. 20, students looking to join new student clubs and organizations participated in ClubFest at Barton Hall.
After ClubFest, clubs continued to recruit online.
The event marked the fifth year of Cornell’s Big Red Thon, a dance marathon that raises funds and awareness for the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse, New York.
Cornell Students for Animal Rights and Cornell Vegan Society stood in solidarity outside of Barton Hall during Sunday’s ClubFest, bearing signs of “Burning the Amazon is Genocide” and “Take Action” to protest the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.
A noncontagious epidemic of sore throats and 18,610 posters and quarter cards en route to choking a landfill somewhere: These, alongside mailing lists misleadingly bloated with marginal interest, are what remain of the clamor of energy Cornellians heaved this past Sunday afternoon. Upperclassmen might note the dull familiarity of recycled tri-folds displaying faces long since graduated, barely pausing as they leave their shift for More Important Things. Those browsing might find themselves frustrated by the maze they glaze by in search of specific clubs. But though I question some of her excesses, I’m starting to recognize something amazing yet understated about the way Clubfest brings the breadth of our campus to the cavernous body of Barton Hall. Anyone else faced with the impossibility of winning interest for an esoteric club might share my initial jadedness.
Music, dance, laughter and the smell of blended spices permeated through Barton Hall as Culture Fest commenced for its second annual event, featuring performances, music, food and presentations Sunday afternoon.
A$AP Ferg and A$AP Twelvyy will perform at Cornell’s Barton Hall tonight.
A$AP Twelvy will be the opening act for A$AP Ferg at Barton Hall on March 24.
The Welcome Weekend Committee will host its spring ClubFest this Sunday, showcasing hundreds of student organizations on campus in Barton Hall with booths, giveaways and plenty of sign-up sheets.
While students waited hours last year to try to enter the career fair, students this year were able to breeze into Barton Hall.
