Discoverfest was held during the second week of the Titan Weeks of Welcome (WOW), which according to Cal State Fullerton’s website, happens during the first two weeks of fall and spring semesters.

The website stated that “Titan WOW is a time for the campus to welcome new and continuing students to a new semester.”

According to Victoria Cid, 23, a communicative disorders major, Discoverfest allows student organizations to talk about their clubs in order to attract current students.

She also said clubs and organizations are arranged based on what they are associated with.

“We are a service organization, so we were placed next to the Flying Samaritans, which also does philanthropy work,” said Cid.

She said her organization had ten new students sign up.

“This is more than we expected, so we are extremely pleased with this turnout of excited, eager and passionate group of new students,” Cid said.

Cid works with Autism Speaks U, which helps educate students about autism and raises money to donate to the organization, Autism Speaks, which specializes in researching.

According to Associate Dean of Students Efiquio Uballe, Ed.D., there were about 150 to 175 student clubs in attendance.

“Half of them were not there due to lack of room, and some didn’t register,” said Uballe. “Some that did register had to be turned away.”

There were hundreds of people who showed up for the event.

“We had a great turnout,” Uballe said.

Various college departments and other student services were also on hand for the event, according to Uballe.

One student service organization used Discoverfest to reach out to spread its message.

“Discoverfest helped us reach out to the CSUF students and let them know that there is a Colleges Against Cancer Club on campus and helped us recruit members and participants for Relay For Life,” said Relay for Life Chair Danielle Riniolo.

Other organizations also had activities during Discoverfest. The Epsilon Nu Tau fraternity painted faces, according to their website. Other organizations served dessert.

Phi Beta Delta, an honor society, served cookies, candies and pastries, according to the calendar on CSUF’s website.

According to the list of clubs, other student organizations and services that were in attendance included: Human Services Student Association, Golden Key International Honor Society, Graduate Council of La Samilla, Kappa Omicron Nu Honor Society, Psi Chi International Honors Society, Entertainment and Tourism Club, Center for Careers and Teaching, Young Americans for Liberty, and Liberal Studies Student Association.

Discoverfest was co-sponsored by Student Life and New Student Programs.
