UW-Superior students had over a 100 student clubs and organizations, on-campus departments, resource organizations, and external employers attend this year’s ‘JacketFest. The annual event allows students to see the opportunities available to them in the Twin Ports.

Due to the weather, this year’s ‘JacketFest was held indoors in the YellowJacket Union. Both the YU Great Room A and the YU Atrium were filled with tables gearing to grab student’s attention or involvement. Despite being indoors, a record 289 students attended this year’s event.
“This was by far this was the most success indoor ‘JacketFest,” said Alison Garver, UWS’ Student Affairs Director. “We were a little disappointed when the weather turned out fine, but the [student] organizations did a crazy amount of recruiting this year. It looks like students are really looking to be involved this year.”
Each year ‘JacketFest is hosted by Student Involvement, The Link Center, and Student Employment and is for UWS students only. Coming up on Oct. 17, The Link Center will be holding their annual Fall Career & Internship Fair. That event will be open to UMD, CSS, LSC students and community members.
