And I liked how we had several opportunities for students to connect throughout the year, such as the Fall Kickoff and PI(e) Day.

First is our annual Fall Kickoff, where the club will have a social get-together with food, music, and games for club members to connect, socialize, and have fun. We’ll also be resuming our weekly Game Nights and coding competitions. We plan on hosting several workshops to promote peer learning within the club.

The Fall Kickoff is a great opportunity for new and returning students to connect, reconnect, and meet new faces. I’d encourage everyone to join us, so watch for more news on Discord.
