Students walk by and interact with various organization tables during Activity Fair Day on Aug. 28, 2024, at UTA.
The fall 2025 Activity Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on the University Center mall, giving students an opportunity to explore campus life and resources beyond the classroom.
Michael Onuchovsky, assistant director for the Office of Student Organizations, said nearly 200 groups have signed up so far for tabling, and he anticipates having more than 300 booths by the event.
About 50 departments, community sponsors and vendors from the Arlington and Dallas-Fort Worth area will be participating, alongside Campus Recreation and Maverick Dining, which are helping with the Maverick Cookout and recess.
Onuchovsky said the fair will feature some novelty items such as bounce houses, slides and character artists for the first time on campus.
Onuchovsky said the fair is exciting for freshmen looking for a place of belonging at UTA.
“No matter what passion you have, there’s something there for you, right? And no matter your interest,” he said.
To help students overwhelmed by the number of participants, Student Organizations offers a 15-minute involvement consultation where students can share their interests and be directed toward the groups they share their passion with.
Onuchovsky said students are encouraged to download the MavEngage Mobile app, where they can preview the participating organizations, join their group chats and view upcoming events throughout the year.
“It’s really, really important for us that our students are able to find somewhere to get involved and get connected with the institution,” Onuchovsky said.
