Last Wednesday, club officers stayed after school to prepare for the annual Club Rush. They decorated their tables with colorful balloons, posters, and candy to accompany their designated table. As SGA Co-President, communications senior Christian Chantayan was responsible for helping set up the gym and organize the logistics for the event. “Many students weren’t able to find sponsors for their club, and many students separately came up with duplicate club ideas, so SGA had to find club sponsors and help merge similar clubs,” Chantayan said. “It was a lot. Im just glad I have an amazing team of people who stepped up when we needed them in order to make it happen.”
