Sharkapa-What?

Here at Nova Southeastern there are lots of events going on constantly.  The first event of the year here is something called Sharkapalooza.  It is an event put together by all of the clubs and organizations the school has to offer.  Each table set up has games, prizes and information about its program.  This event was developed for the student body to learn more about the school and to get involved.  It is a great way to start off the year, especially for freshman.
As a freshman myself I know how scary it can be to come to a new school and not know how to get involved.  Walking into this huge event was a great welcome to the school.  The people involved made it a comfortable atmosphere and made it easy to learn about each program.  I was able to see some familiar faces from orientation and meet some new people of all ages and interests.
Sharkapalooza is a great experience for more than freshman though.  It is good for every student, even those that have attended the school for years.  Clubs and organizations are added to the school every year and anyone can find something new that they may be interested in.  
Sharkapalooza has definitely its positive impact on me.  I cannot wait to attend next year and hope all the freshman get out for the first week of school and experience it as well.  Who knows?  Maybe by the then I will be helping organize it as well!
