<\/a>The student society is having their 25th anniversary this year, so Camfest is just the beginning of their celebrating. Eggenberger says that students can expect to find a free barbecue on campus as part of the Camfest festivities (there will also be food trucks if that\u2019s more your speed), along with other fun activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents can rev up for the new school year test-driving cars, reach new heights on the climbing wall, and check out wandering magicians,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Don\u2019t Close the Doors campaign paint-in will be a great opportunity for students to get messy and delve into activism. We\u2019ll also have CCSS board members roaming on campus to tell students about our federal election campaign, This Time We Decide, and a coalition campaign to stop bus pass-ups and push for late-night service. And did I mention the huge birthday cake?\u201d<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s not enough to round up some starving students, Eggenberger says that it\u2019s just important to start a new school year in a memorable and fun fashion. And it\u2019s more than just fun and games: she says that students often do better in their classes when they feel supported by the college community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CCSS offers support to students, not just through programs like our food bank and health plan, but also by hosting events,\u201d she says. \u201cWe want to give students every opportunity to connect with other students and with their student society. Camfest takes a significant amount of time to plan and a big portion of our events budget, but it\u2019s an ideal time for students to make new connections.\u201d<\/p>\n
