Clubs day features organizations and performances

May 8, 2017

A sea of light blue engulfed the main quad, captivating a crowd of students who flocked to the center of campus last Thursday to watch G.R.A.N.D, an on-campus dance group, perform during Club Day.

Every quarter, the De Anza Student Body and Inter Club Council  hosts a Club Day  to encourage De Anza’s diverse population to contribute to student organizations. At the center of Club Day festivities, on-campus groups lined up around the fountain to talk to passersby in hopes of increasing their club membership.

This quarter’s Club Day was filled with excitement, fun, and memorable performances. Notably, performances from Four Elements, Workshop, and the K-Pop Dance Club intrigued audiences and enticed students to go to their respective booths. Along with various types of organizations that included cultural clubs, academically oriented organizations, community service groups, and more.

Caleb Jo, 20, business administration major and member of G.R.A.N.D., said “[Club Day] is a really good time to be able to dance and have a community.”

”Club day, this year, feels really good and I get a sense that everyone is trying really hard. Everyone was energetic and there were a lot of performances this time,” Arthur Arboleta, 22, English major, said.

A common theme of community reflects the larger idea that clubs serve sustained purpose on campus: to help people grow and develop while finding a community. With De Anza’s large selection of clubs, people are always encouraged to seek out an organization that helps them fulfill their goals and passions.

The De Anza Automotive Technology club brought a car to display for the De Anza community, one of the many creative ways to attract people and increase membership. In addition to the car itself, car parts were also available for students to interact with to gain a sense of what they’d be working with.
