Stay ready, Gators. At San Francisco State University, our festivities welcoming you to campus extend for three months. The annual Gatorfest, continuing through Halloween, features dances, recreational sports, game nights, art making, live comedy improv and many more opportunities to get to know your fellow Gators.
“I definitely recommend going to Gatorfest,” said Christian Flower, a student who works for SFSU Campus Recreation. “I think it’s great for students to take full advantage of all opportunities and resources and events that happen on campus. It’s a good way to not only network, but to put your face out there, make new friends and get involved on campus.”
“All of this is here for you,” said student Sam Aranibar, also from Campus Recreation. “Just have fun and I hope to see you there!”
