We're so excited to offer this year's annual Spring Involvement Fair in-person at Spirit Park on campus (rain site TCC 2nd floor hallway). This page will offer important COVID-19 safety information for both student organizations and students/campus community members interested in attending the event. If you still have questions, please email us at LSIFREEMississippi. We can't wait to see you on March 24th!
Registration for the Spring Involvement Fair NEW date March 24th is now open. Click here to sign up by March 15th. Groups that signed up should be checking their USM email accounts for further information.
Please note the important event procedures in place for your safety due to COVID-19:
- Each organization will be assigned a one hour period of time to table based on org category. This allows us to accomodate more groups while still following social distancing and capacity guidelines.
- Tables are provided and will be pre-assigned and labeled with org name when you arrive at Spirit Park. One table and up to two members ONLY are permitted due to capacity guidelines.
- You will have 15 minutes prior to your hour to set up your table. Please arrive on time. You are encourage to bring display boards, computer screens or anything else you want to have up at your table to talk about your organization.
- Spirit Park will be marked clearly with event entry and exit and face coverings will be required for all in attendance at all times.
- Hand sanitizer will be provided for all organizations and attendees.
- Organizations should minimize touchpoints and/or giveaway items as much as possible at their tables. Absolutely no food should be present. Consider using QR codes or virtual marketing materials to cut down on touchpoints.
- If inclement weather is in the forecast, we will move the event indoors to the Thad Cochran Center 2nd floor hallway. We will email all groups signed up if we have to make this call ahead of the event. We are still highlighting videos of organizations through our FlipGrid page. There is still time for you to create a page to have your organization included. Click here to set that up.
