Enter Fresno State's extracurricular extravaganza, a buffet of awesomeness with enough options to make your head spin...in a good way, like a breakdancer at a competition (they do have a breakdancing club, by the way).

** unleash Your Inner Artist (or Inner Chef)**
The creative bunch won't be left out! Unleash your inner Picasso with the art club, or maybe Shakespeare himself is calling your name - there's a theatre club for that too. Feeling more Martha Stewart than Michelangelo? The culinary club is the perfect place to whip up a masterpiece (and then devour it...because priorities).
