A few weeks back, I scheduled my mandatory ACE IT training for this morning. After attending that today, I went to Quad Day, the UIUC event at which registered student organizations set up booths to inform and attract new members. There were a lot of people there - I suspect almost all of freshmen were on or around the quad at some point during the four-hour event. My primary goal of finding the Navigators was accomplished only after a lot of wandering through crowds of people.
On the way, I found a handful of interesting groups, though my understanding of all of them is not completely clear yet, so I'll just attend a couple meetings to see what they're about to narrow down my extracurricular activities. I'm thinking about Research Park (which seems to be a good source of connections for internships?), the go club, the Security Studies Group, a society for biology, a data science group, the Federalist Society (which seems to be a forum for law experts to debate legal issues), and of course the Navigators.
Tomorrow is the first day of classes, so I also spent some time planning my physical route from one building to the next.
