What’s a general club meeting like?

What is your major and career path?
I am currently a history major and plan to transfer to Cal State Northridge where I will continue my studies in history.

My main goal and I think I can speak for everyone in the club, is that we would like for the club to live on long after our current members and myself have left EC.
