Representatives from eight of the College of Business’ student organizations set up shop Tuesday afternoon in Austin Hall’s Masterson Family Marketplace for the college’s Club Fair.
Members passed out information — and in some cases, candy as well — and answered questions regarding membership and club activities and expectations.
Represented Tuesday were the Marketing Club, Management Club, Sales Club, Enactus, DAMchic (fashion magazine), Beta Alpha Psi (accounting) and the Institute of Management Accountants.

The spring 2015 edition of the College of Business’ student-produced online fashion magazine, DAMchic, made its online debut at midnight Friday night following a launch party hosted by the magazine at Austin Hall, which included performances by OSU’s Hip Hop Club.
The title is “Contemporary Streets” and editor Eliot Frack calls the 88-page issue “our best one ever.”
“It has lots of color,” she said. “It’s really, really fun, less cluttered, and has a really clean look. We added more flair and a kind of quirkiness.
“The layout is really great,” Frack said, praising art director John Conner. “I tell him what I want, and he goes above and beyond.”
The theme permeating Contemporary Streets is “sportswear with an urban touch,” Frack said. “It’s like sportswear meets streetwear, high-fashion sportswear with a street vibe. Nightwear inspired by sportswear.”
Among the issue’s many features is a look at the “athleisure” trend – athletic wear as casual attire – by writer Meagan Amos and photographer Max DeYoung.
“It gives the new fashionista a lazy way out,” Frack joked.
There’s also an “In the Fast Lane” spread highlighting ways to “take life by the handlebars” with “pops of neon on a palette of edgy black and leather,” and a story on Michelle Lesniak of “Project Runway.” Lesniak, a Portland-based designer, was a speaker at the LaSells Stewart Center on Feb. 12 for TEDxOregonStateU.
