Activities Bonanza to feature variety of student organizations

The Activities Bonanza will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday (Aug. 28) between the Purdue Memorial Union and Stewart Center. Purdue Student Union Board is sponsoring the event.

The annual offering will feature a wide variety of student organizations, and students will have a chance to learn about and join groups. Some organizations will perform demonstrations throughout the afternoon. A list of organizations participating in the Activities Bonanza is available at https://www.union.purdue.edu/HTML/PSUB/

The Activities Bonanza also gives student organizations a way to advertise their missions and increase their membership, said Jena Naylor, director of special events for the Purdue Student Union Board.
