Any announcements about meetings will be emailed to all club members and also announced on the club Discord server.

Description of Regular Meetings/Activities

Meetings will always include some sort of fun activity such as playing games, making art, or watching a movie. We will also provide snacks at the meetings.

Description of Special Events

The club may also meet off-campus occasionally for various other fun activities such as bowling or mini-golf.
The club will take a trip to Minneapolis for the Furry Migration convention every year! This convention usually runs on the second weekend of September. We rent a van for our club to take to the convention as a cheaper alternative to individual driving. To be involved, signup is run during the summer to allow time for trip registration through stuorg.
We host online meetings on occasion as a way to connect with people who are unable to attend the in-person meetings. This is done via Discord. The discord can be accessed by emailing an officer for the invite or through the Iowa State University Hub. The hub can be found here: https://discord.gg/4Qdm8RRUh2
