Second Look Fair Registration Opens Jan. 15!

Preparations are underway for Second Look Fair 2020 (formerly known as StampFest)! Second Look Fair will take place on Thursday, February 6, 2020, in the Stamp, starting at 10am. It'll feature entertainment, discounts at building vendors, activities and information from student organizations, and the opportunity for University offices and departments to showcase themselves and the work we do!

The Organization and Involvement Fair, featuring student organizations and University departments, is an important part of Second Look Fair. The Organization and Involvement Fair will take place from 10am-3pm throughout the Stamp. Similar to First Look Fair, groups are encouraged to showcase their organization/department in the most creative way possible. 

For UMD Departments, because of space limitations, we're only able to accommodate one table per department at this time. If your department has multiple programs you wish to highlight, we ask that you condense it to one table, as we want to accommodate as many departments as possible. 

Registration opens Wednesday, January 15 at 10:00am, and will fill up quickly. Register early!
