This year’s USU open house celebration to start the fall semester will be a fun “Road Trip” featuring all kinds of useful information for new and returning Matadors. Students can easily navigate through the wide range of offerings to learn all about the services and opportunities available at the USU and across the campus. Grab your shades and bring your friends to experience everything the USU’s “Road Trip” has to offer—including sunshine, tasty treats and awesome performances.
“This year’s Road Trip theme will transform the Plaza del Sol at the USU into a fun adventure,” said USU Events Assistant, Trevor Cole. “Matafest is a great way for students to check out everything the USU has to offer, hang out with friends, meet new people and experience the fun stuff you would encounter on a road trip.”
Every CSUN student is encouraged to enjoy all the free entertainment, free food, giveaways and activities along with an opportunity to gain insight and knowledge about the USU and its extensive resources and job availabilities.
Matafest includes two convenient sessions on Wednesday, Aug. 26. It starts from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then resumes that evening from 4 to 7 p.m. on the USU’s Plaza del Sol.
