Each semester the Department of Student Involvement and Engagement hosts a Student Involvement Fair as an opportunity for students to both find like-minded individuals and a student organization that fits their interests, as well as give current registered organization to continue their recruitment efforts.

Student Involvement Fair - FAQs for Participating Student Organizations
Representing your student organization at this year's Student Involvement Fair? Read through our FAQ to learn more about requirements and details related to your participation.
When should we arrive?
Organization check-in is from 1:30pm - 2:30pm. Organizations are expected to be there by 2:30pm to allow time for the organization to have their booth set up properly.
What should we bring?
To check in your organization, all you'll need are these essentials: your TXST ID, the confirmation email that was sent to you or your organization, your table setup (i.e., trifold, sign-up sheet, promo items, handouts, tablecloth, etc.), and your representatives who are ready to talk about your organization!
Organizations are provided with a table, two chairs, and a hole puncher for attendee punch cards. If any of these items are not returned before your organization departs, you may be charged for the missing item.
Are refunds allowed?
Refunds are provided only to organizations who inform Student Involvement of their withdrawal by August 23 at 12:00pm. Organizations who do not inform our department will not be able to receive their refund.
To request a refund, email getinvolved@txstate.edu. Please note that once your organization has withdrawn, you will not be able to re-register until the Spring Student Involvement Fair.
What happens if my organization can't make it and doesn't notify Student Involvement?
No-show organizations will be subject to a $15 empty-table fee. Space is valuable, especially with the amount of student organizations who want to participate. If you do not have the intention of attending, please think about whether signing up for this opportunity is the best decision for your organization.
What isn't allowed?
While we want you to have the best setup and attract students to your table, there are restrictions placed by the LBJ Student Center that student organizations must adhere to. This includes candles, glitter, confetti, rice, birdseed, hay, red soda, red punch, and fog machines.
Do I have to be there the whole time?
Organizations are expected to arrive by 2:30pm and have at least one student at their booth for the entirety of the fair. Should your organization have reason to leave early, please notify our staff at least 3 days prior to the event.
