A club for every student
In an early afternoon in September, more than a thousand students filled the walkways between The Commons and the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery. The occasion was UMBC’s biannual Involvement Fest, or iFest for short. Each semester, Student Affairs organizes iFest as a way to showcase the diversity of more than 250 student-led clubs and the vibrant community they create—a community that offers opportunities for UMBC students to nurture their whole persons: mind, body, and soul.
