My name is Hassan Daoud, a senior here at FSC, and I remember getting involved with my first campus club like it was yesterday. Let me preface with this: the only thing I did in my first two years at FSC was drive to campus, go to class, and then drive back home. Not even once did I consider getting involved with a student organization, or even had the slightest clue as to what the Office of Student Activities was. That all changed one day when I saw a promotion table inside the Campus...
