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.

About Me
I'm 23, going to Weber and like long walks on the beach. JK. During these years at Weber I am studying construction management. I am the Senior President for the CMT's student club, and I participate in estimating competitions against colleges from all over the western United States. I took this leadership class to improve my skill with people, to gain a foundation for being a president, and simply to better myself. Getting to college was no easy task for me. I was kicked out of normal high school and finished up my junior and senior year at an alternative high school. After a couple of years building houses, I knew that I need more than what was in front of me. I signed up for school and never looked back.
