Joining the Club
Ok, so I logged into my portal, went a little club crazy and joined three clubs. I was glad to see so many different clubs with the same interests as mine, but when I was looking through there sites I noticed that there was little going on in any of them. I joined the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Students Club and noticed that they didn't have anything at their site; no postings, no emails, nothing. The hiking club was a little better. They had topics, comments, conversations. It seemed as though there was a few that wanted to get things done, but little support or interest. Finally I joined the snowboard club, hoping that because we're in Utah with the greatest snow on earth that there would be monds of people, topics, comments and meetings, but there really wasn't. It was the best so far. There were quite a few postings from previous years, and there was a couple for this year. There was even instruction on how to get season passes at a discount through the school. But I still didn't see anything about meetings, or group snowboarding days, or really anything. Am I going to the wrong place? Are there other websites with up dated information? I'm thinking that there is and the portal system is just a place to list all the clubs for freshmen or others new to campus. -----Mike out.

I don't know much about the portals. In about every majer biulding on campass the clubs are usally listed by that office. For example at the business building there is a list of the clubs at the main office. Good luck!!
Mike,
It seems that sometimes student run clubs can be very irregular regarding meetings and such. Perhaps all they need is a good leader to organize things a little better! I thought your responses to the ch.2 questions were very insightful. I thought it interesting your statement that, "people are naturally followers." And how we are taught this throughout childhood; very true especially in games like Follow the Leader, Simon Says. They don't tell you that everyone can be a leader through their actions!

The portals aren't the best place to join a club. Very limited interaction happens on there. Snowboarding is part of intramurals department of campus recreation. You can go to weber.edu/im and click on club sports to find details on the sport of your choice. Snowboard club updates a myspace page regularly.
Their first meeting is: Thursday, September 27th at 7pm in the Browning Center (on campus) room 113.
Best of luck to yoU!
Thats too bad about that 7 habits club, they should really be posting left and right to help people. I'm glad that you're having a good time in the snowboarding club though. I hope you have a great winter!
