Branson held its annual Clubs Fair on September 10-11 in the quad, featuring more than 80 student-run clubs, the largest number in school history.

The record-breaking turnout filled the quad with energy, as students explored opportunities ranging from athletics and arts to business and activism. With so many clubs, the fair was split across two days.

“It was very busy; the student body seemed really engaged,” said Harper White ’28. “There was a lot of energy everywhere you looked.”

The fair also had many new and returning clubs. 

“It was really cool to see all the old clubs but also the new ones,” said Logan Simborg ’28. “There were a lot more options this year than last year.”

This expansion was made possible by Branson’s largest-ever student body, showing how freshmen also played a big role by taking the initiative.

“I remember seeing a lot of freshmen running clubs and being very active,” Nick Boas said ’28. 

The record-breaking turnout shows how central clubs are to student life at Branson. With so many students involved, the fair is setting the tone for a year of leadership and community engagement.

“The club fair held a huge number of clubs that offered each Branson student a chance to engage in the community,” said Aren Demirkol ’28.
