Driskell also said she hoped to see similar cooperative events occur in other ethnic communities on campus.
Touissant G. Losier '04 said he was impressed by the meeting's organization and atmosphere.
"It was very well put together and, as opposed to other introductory meetings I've been to, it was very friendly and more on a personal level," Losier said.
He added that the meeting was particularly exciting because similar groups had not existed at his high school.
"I want to get a taste of everything before I leave," he said. "These are opportunities I didn't have in high school, so I definitely want to take advantage of them."
Several audience members who were not first-years said they also found the meeting surprisingly informative.
"I've been here for a year and I didn't know half of these groups existed," said Eugenia C. Garvin '03. "Some of them sound interesting, and I'd like to get more involved."
