Davis High clubs are turning to Zoom as their primary platform of communication and club leaders harbor concerns about new member recruitment.  

DHS clubs commissioner Caroline Johnson is currently facing the challenge of putting together a virtual club fair, which, according to her, is still in the early works.

“We’re looking into other ways to organize the virtual club fair that isn’t through Zoom,” she said.

Johnson is concerned about the possibility that people would have to sit through presentations for clubs that they might not be as interested in.

Another challenge clubs are facing is the Davis Joint Unified School District’s policy that prevents any clubs from gathering in person. 

“I do expect some clubs might not continue this year,” Johnson said.

However, Johnson has received applications for new clubs. “It’s cool that people are still interested in [clubs],” she said.

“I assumed that clubs will be less active than ‘brick-and-mortar’ school years, however my email inbox is filled with club questions,” Student Government teacher Anthony Vasquez said. “We’re in the process of reviewing and approving at least 15 to 20 clubs this week, with undoubtedly more on the way!”
