  • How do I register my organization for The Winter FAIR?

    Student organization registration will open January 16th, 2024 and close January 28th, 2024! Student organization officers will receive the registration link in SLICE's Scotty Scoop newsletter sent to organizations, on this FAIR website, and the SLICE social media. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Register here!

  • Where will The FAIR be held?

    The Winter FAIR will be in Rangos Ballroom inside the Cohon University Center! Organizations will be categorized by groups with maps to help you find the group you are looking for.

  • How can my organization prepare for The FAIR?

    Check to make sure your student organization's page on TartanConnect is fully up-to-date.

    Meet with members from your student organization to plan and prepare for your table at the FAIR. Teamwork means less work on any one person and you’ll have more fun. Remember to include members of your organization who don't hold a leadership position.

    Create a display that is engaging and will appeal to your audience. Your display/poster/banner/table cloth should have your organization name on it. A SLICE staff member may ask you to remove an item that is obstructing the view of another organization.

    Each organization has a unique QR Code on their TartanConnect page that users can scan to automatically join an organization's Member page. Be sure to print this out or have a digital copy on a personal device for your table! Learn how to access your organization's QR Code.

    Do not expect to have electrical outlets. Generators are not permitted. We ask that any music or recorded sound be played only at a level that does not impede conversations at the table next you. A SLICE staff member ask you to turn sound down or off. We will not be able to provide performance or demonstration space for your organization.

    Brainstorm with organization members for a creative giveaway to pass out to visitors. (Live animals are not permitted as giveaways). Have members at your table to answer questions. Be proactive and approach students instead of just setting up a display and standing by it. Have a sign-up sheet ready to collect names and emails of those interested in joining your organization.

    Plan when and where your first meeting or information session will be so that you can advertise that information during The FAIR.

Provisions & Breakdown

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You will be provided with a six-foot banquet table and two chairs. Due to possible space constraints, we may ask you to share a table with another organization in your same category.

Do not expect to have electrical outlets. Generators are not permitted. We ask that any music or recorded sound be played only at a level that does not impede conversations at the table next you.

The FAIR ends at 6:30 pm. Please clean-up around your table area and discard any trash to help SLICE staff during their clean-up process after hours.

Check-In & Set-Up

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You may start setting up your table at 4:30 pm and you need to be ready by 4:45 pm. If you are a student organization, you were emailed your table number at least 24 hours prior to the FAIR and do not need to check-in at the SLICE table.

You must have a member present at your table by 4:45 pm. If you are not present, your table will be given to an organization on the waitlist.

After The FAIR

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Each organization has a unique QR Code on their TartanConnect page that users can scan to automatically join an organization's Member page. Learn how to access your organization's QR Code. Be sure to print this out or have a digital copy on a personal device for your table!

If you choose to use Google Sheets, Excel, or a physical paper sheet to collect contact information, upload all of the email addresses you collected into the Members section of your TartanConnect page to invite individuals to join. Lean how to add new members to your organization!

Tip: Begin planning your first meeting or information session for interested students and follow up with these students within a week of the FAIR with a personal message to let them know about upcoming events or meetings. The personal outreach will help your organization stand out.
