Opportunities for Photography Lovers on Campus

I was kindly invited to the first-ever Photography Club meeting by a fellow photography enthusiast. I was curious to find out what kind of expectations the potential members had for this new club. Fortunately, I was able to go to the meeting, and I’m really excited about the possibilities of this group.

Everybody who came had great ideas to share. The club would like to contribute to our college by taking photos of events on campus, such as the pinning ceremony for the nursing students. The club may invest in some t-shirts so we can be identified as photographers during these campus events. Weather pending, we could go photo-hiking and capture images of nature in Wisconsin. We also spoke of the possibility of offering family Christmas portraits for students and their families. Along with taking photos with a purpose, we may have an educational aspect to the club so we can learn more about cameras and software.

If you’re interested in joining the club, our next meeting is Tuesday, October 28 at 11:30am in the West Bend cafeteria. Bring your ideas and your camera.

Other new clubs have been formed this semester besides the Photography Club. If you’re interested in extracurricular activities for fun or for your resume, ask your instructors, fellow students or see your Student Involvement Specialist. There’s something for everyone, and if there isn’t, you can help create a new club that suits your interests or career goals.
