📅 Spring Involvement Fair

The Involvement Fair is a comprehensive event that allows all LU students to speak with groups to learn how to join them, get their questions answered, and create connections. Groups attending gain the opportunity to recruit new members and provide information about their services or activities.

Thursday, February 20 from 11:30 AM to 2 PM

Groups should plan to provide their own signage/display/decor, tablecloth, giveaways, and/or any other information you would like to give out or provide! Plan to staff your table space with 2 to 6 representatives at a time, for the entire duration of the event (plan in shifts, if needed).

🏀 Show Up & Show Out

Get ready to bring the energy and represent your student organization at the upcoming games on February 27, March 1, and March 3! Each game is a chance for your group to win a $200 prize for having the largest attendance.

But that’s not all - attendance will be tracked across all games, and the group with the highest cumulative attendance will take home the grand prize of $1000!

Make sure to check in at the game and your student organization will earn points. Let’s pack the stands and show our Cardinal pride!

🌟 Student Organization Incentive Points

To promote student engagement and recognize the hard work of our student organizations, we have implemented a comprehensive point system. This system rewards student organizations based on their activities, involvement, and contributions to the Lamar University community. Points are earned through events, volunteer hours, leadership roles, and more.

How it works

Student organizations can earn points through various activities, including but not limited to:

  • Event Participation: Attending or hosting university-approved events
  • Community Service: Engaging in volunteer activities or outreach programs within the Beaumont community or beyond
  • Leadership Development: Participating in SOLD trainings and flight plan workshops.
  • Club Meetings and Collaboration: Regular participation in meetings and collaboration with other organizations on campus.
  • LU Hub: Usage of LU Hub to schedule and host events, communicate with group members, and stay up to date on registration.
