“Expect the unexpected,” said University Activities Board Director of Excursions Jeffrey Shehee about this year’s Fall Fest.
Fall Fest will be held on Aug. 30 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. outside the Student Union, giving students a chance to get involved on campus.
“It’s important that students take away what Wright State has to offer,” said Shehee.
Over 130 student organizations are signed up to attend along with several food trucks and local vendors. Student organizations attending Fall Fest this year include Greek life, philanthropic groups, academic and major-related clubs, spirituality-based groups, and athletic and recreational clubs. Food trucks attending are Kona Ice, Hunger Paynes and Zombie Dogz.

“[Fall Fest] is primarily a huge source of networking for incoming students and upperclassmen as well,” said Shehee.
Fall Fest does not solely benefit incoming students; returning students get another opportunity to find organizations to join. Student organizations attending also benefit from Fall Fest, as excited students become new members.“Over the last five-to-ten years, we’ve averaged anywhere from 190 to 225 student organizations,” said Vice Provost of Student Affairs Dr. Gary Dickstein. “Every year, we have new student organizations that are created.”
At Fall Fest, students can learn about student organizations, listen to a live DJ, grab a bite from one, or all, of the food trucks and have fun on the inflatables, all while meeting new people.
