About
How Flashpoint works
Our club is separated into four main event types. Events are typically weekly, but sometimes more or less frequent. You can join at any time during the year — we know our members are busy people.

Weekends
Excursions
Practice what you've learned, meet new people, and explore on- and off-campus locations together.
A few times a month
Socials
Hang out with the team, catch up on editing, and relax in a low-key setting.
Occasionally
Collabs
Partner with other clubs for unique experiences that take Flashpoint beyond our own circle.
