The club fair at Cal State Bakersfield took place on Jan. 28, 2026, to allow students to explore the many clubs the university has to offer. Students looking to learn a new skill, meet new people, or have new experiences can find the opportunity through CSUB’s clubs. No matter their background, major, or grade, every student can find a place where they feel at home through CSUB’s clubs.
The Native Indigenous Coalition celebrates Native and Indigenous culture through gatherings that feature traditional celebrations like music, sewing, and beading. The club meets three times a month at the Rohan Center on Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. The club’s purpose is to educate people and raise awareness about indigenous culture, including beliefs, rituals, and celebrations.
“I believe that Native culture, native history is really important. Especially right now in the times that we’re living. I think it’s important for people to be educated on who we are, what we do, and it’s a lot of fun,” said Anissa Robidoux, club president.
The Experimental Agriculture Club is a new club this semester. David Garcia, club president, started this club because of his interest in growing plants, and wanted to give students interested in agriculture a place to meet up and work on projects together. The main focus of the club is experimenting with hydroponics, or growing plants without soil. This club works together with the Edible Garden and meets there to work on plant projects. Some of the activities the club has planned are experimenting with plant-breeding, growing plants in water, and growing culinary mushrooms.
“I’ve really been interested in how plants grow and learning about them from the internet… so I wanted to see if anyone else on campus was interested in doing this with me,”said Garcia.
The Geology Club welcomes students of any major or grade looking for interactive and educational events. Club activities consist of on-campus meetings, hikes, barbecues, and stargazing. To join the club and find their social media, students can find a QR code on a bulletin board in the geology department, located on the third floor of Science II, between rooms 355 and 353. The club connects with local organizations and businesses like Lengthwise, Rusty’s Pizza, and The Twisted Skein. The Kern County Astronomical Society (KCAS) and the Geology Club hosted a telescope-viewing event during the fall 2025 semester.
“Everybody had a great time. The people from the astronomical society brought out posters about the moon’s geology, and all of the people with telescopes answered questions,” Elijah Swanson, club president, said. The club will meet in different classrooms in the geology department, and mainly participates in events like the club fair, the sustainability fair, and fundraisers.
Clubs bring students together and help them learn, grow, and build connections with the community. Clubs offer students time to have fun and collaborate on topics and hobbies they love. Club activities span from on-campus meetings to field trips around Bakersfield, Calif.
