First Look Fair

Find your thing at one of UMD’s longest-running traditions. The one-day fall event brings together hundreds of student clubs and organizations on McKeldin Mall. With demonstrations, giveaways and tons of information, it’s a big opportunity to learn more about how to get involved and connect with other students with similar interests.
