Students transformed White Plaza last Friday afternoon into a lively Fall Student Activities Fair, complete with balloons, double dutch jumping rope, live mariachi music and – for a time – a special guest: a handsome horse from the Stanford Polo Club.
More than 400 student organizations took part in the fair, which is aimed at introducing undergraduate students to voluntary student organizations, including academic, arts, athletic, club sports, service, religious, ethnic/cultural, political and recreational groups.
Photographer Linda A. Cicero roamed the fair to capture images of Stanford’s passionate, creative and committed students encouraging others to join their causes and interests.
