The Underground

The Underground is NOW OPEN!

We have modified hours of operation this week to support SOVO Prep Party and the SOVO Fair, and we'll start our normal hours of operation next week. 

SOVO Fair is in just a few days! Just a reminder: if you registered for the SOVO Fair as part of your annual re-registration, you will see your organization listed on the SOVO Fair Roster. Below are a few details to assure a successful day for everyone:

Date, Time & Location: Friday, August 22, 2025. Check-in begins at 2:15 pm at Monroe Park, and the fair runs from 3:00 pm-6:00 pm. Please arrive no later than 2:30 pm to ensure you are prepared for the event by 3:00 pm.

Event check in: All organizations participating in SOVO are assigned to a category on the roster. You can find the location of your category in the park on the map below. To self-check in for the event, simply find an available table in your category section, and begin to set up. You may only set up in your designated category section. Although there is no official check in location, VCU staff and volunteers will be monitoring all of the organization categories to help direct student leaders, answer questions, and ensure only participating orgs are accessing tables. If you have any questions, you can direct them to volunteers in the park or come see us at the Club Hub Info Desk at the Checkers House in the center of the park.

Welcome back!

We're excited to see you in the Underground, help you prep to recruit new members, AND start the new year right with everyone's favorite WOW event, SOVO FAIR this Friday in Monroe Park. 

We’re excited to kick off another year of involvement, leadership, and community at VCU. As student leaders, you play a vital role in shaping campus life—building connections, creating experiences, and helping your peers find their place here. Our team is here to support you with resources, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way. Here’s to a successful year of leading, learning, and thriving together! 

As always, be sure to look out for newsletters, updates, events and more opportunities coming your way.

Don't sleep on these WoW events
