On Friday, September 6th, the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy hosted its annual student activities fair. This student activities fair is an amazing opportunity for the over forty clubs at U of D to attract new members and build some momentum going into each year. Nicholas Hilden, the dean of student activities who runs the major event has nothing but positive contributions to say about the event, saying, “honestly it’s one of my top five things to do each year”, adding, “it’s a great opportunity for students to showcase their passions to one another”.
Walking into the main gym where the event is held every year, it’s evident that there is something for everyone at the school. There is a plethora of clubs, ranging from Outdoor Club and Hiking Club to clubs such as Business Club, and Real Estate Club. When asked for his thoughts about the event during the set–up period, senior and Real Estate club leader John Draper said, “I really enjoy getting to get my club some accessibility and viewership”. Once the fair started and students and faculty began piling in, Spanish teacher John Feeney, a very experienced person who has seen the big day evolve over the years, said, “The club fair provides a lot of diversity, and over the years as I’ve seen it, it evolved into something amazing”. The student activities fair was enjoyed by all, garnering many club sign-ups for even greater future experiences.
