40th Annual Student Activities Fair

The Student Activities Office is looking forward to your presence at the 40th Annual Student Activities Fair on Red Square and the Quad from September 24, 2025 through September 25, 2025! Located on Red Square and the Quad, over 200 Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) of our over 1000s RSOs where you can connect with people that share your interests and passions or discover new ones! You can also meet and talk with staff from the Student Activities Office (SAO), who advise and support student-run events, programs, and governance. The fair is open to all current RSOs as a way to promote their activities, recruit new membership and volunteers, and get a boost in visibility to the UW community.

The fair is one of the main events of Dawg Daze, the campus-wide, week-long series of events welcoming new and returning students to UW. During the Student Activities Fair, the Vendor Fair takes place on Red Square and showcases the businesses that support Dawg Daze!
