Event: Second Look Fair at Stamp, 7 Feb 2019 


Students from all schools in the college make their way to the Adele H. Stamp Student Union building to visit the booths and activities on offer at the annual Second Look Fair. 



Yoga instructor Geneva Jimreivat sits on stage in a meditative position during her yoga demonstration at the Wellness Expo. She is a senior, reading Kinesiology at the School of Public Health, and hosts yoga sessions three times a week for members of the college. 


Many religious groups opened booths during the fair to invite students to their gatherings and events in school. One of these groups is the Royalhouse Students and Associates, a Christian group represented by Abena Osei, a biology sophomore, and Ms Gillian Anku, an alumni of the school. 



Steve Szili frequently makes time outside of his job as an asset manager to grow the Krishna Consciousness movement in College Park. He prepares vegan Krishna lunches daily for registrants, and has opened a booth at the fair, distributing free books and advice on spiritual matters. 


Students make use of the opportunity and space at the fair to raise awareness about pressing global issues. Shivam Patel, a junior reading Computer Science, speaks to a visitor about slavery, which still exists in parts of the world today. 


A Science and Information Science senior, Gyasi Clemons, evaluates his choices, having visited some of nearly 100 booths in the Grand Ballroom, showcasing clubs and societies the college has to offer. 


Students at the booths brought an energetic and upbeat atmosphere, showing off their talents where possible, despite the restricted space. Sophomore Jian Soriano, who studies Computer Sciences, plays a tune on his acoustic guitar to attract visitors to the "Jammin' at Maryland" booth. 


Thomas Chung of the Hip Hop Orchestra adds to the atmosphere with music from his violin. He is a freshman reading Computer Science at the college.
