Meet the clubs

Palomar clubs are offering opportunities for students to get involved on campus.

Seventeen clubs, focusing on a variety of interests, are currently registered with the Inter-Club Council, and they are looking for new members. These six were represented at Club Rush on Sept. 13.

The Botany Club is looking for new members that love nature and plants.

When asked why students should consider joining the Botany club, club President Christopher Kihano said “We’re a bunch of friends sharing an interest in botany and always looking for others to share it with.” He continued “… [We] are often out hiking different trails and enjoying the flora of the various areas.”

Fluteous Maximus, who’s official title as “The Glo Man” is still in negotiations, says “Our club is for creators, innovators, and appreciators who want to make an impact, as well as people who want to develop in the art of self-expression.”
