Bearfest

Bearfest meetings are typically every Wednesday from 6-7pm in the Dixon Conference Room starting in November. (Fall meetings will not occur during Thanksgiving week or Finals week.)

Once the theme is announced in December, a competition begins for the Bearfest logo. Information will be posted on the Bearfest social media platforms listed above. Students will have until the beginning of the Spring semester to submit their designs. The Bearfest committee will vote on all submissions to pick the logo that will be used for Bearfest.

Design winners will receive the Bearfest giveaway items as well as a volunteer shirt with their logo on it.

Such a large event takes a lot of people to make it successful. In addition to the committee members, Bearfest also uses volunteers to help with a variety tasks. Students who volunteer for a predetermined minimum number of hours will receive a free t-shirt with the logo and Bearfest sponsors.

Volunteer sign ups will be accepted in April.

While each year the Bearfest committee determines which events and activities will happen during Bearfest, there are always opportunities for student organizations to get involved, such as hosting a booth on Saturday, Bearfest Community Carnival day.

Sign ups and more information will be available in April, however organizations interested in playing a larger role can contact Bearfest Advisor Stacey Green with questions or ideas.
