Giving Cal State Fullerton students a way to become engaged with their fellow students, get involved in fun and interesting activities, and perhaps hang around campus a little more — these are the goals of Discoverfest.

In reality, it becomes a maelstrom of costumes, color, games, prizes, noise and whatever else it takes to attract passing students.

Sponsored by Student Life & Leadership in partnership with Associated Students Inc., the two-day event showcases the campus’s 350 or so student organizations, including fraternities and sororities, at the beginning of each semester.

For a complete list of clubs, students can visit Titanlink online.
