Red Square Info Fair kicks off 2010-11 school year

The Associated Students' annual Red Square Info Fair kicked off the 2010-11 school year at Western Washington University on Sept. 20 and 21, 2010. The annual event took place on Monday in and around the Viking Union Multipurpose Room because of rain and on Tuesday in Red Square.

The event is an opportunity for new and returning students to interact with their peers and gather information on the various student clubs and opportunities at 草榴社区. A number of local businesses also participate, setting up information booths and handing out free stuff during the event.
