STUDENT PROGRAM: CHAPTER SPOTLIGHT

California State University Fullerton

CSUF was our first registered college chapter! They recently had a table at their school's "club-rush" event called DiscoverFest where they shared information and photos from previous events. Their table was such a hit that they left with 143 signups! We're excited about all the great things they will do in the future. Welcome to the team!
