Fencing Club
Description:
The CMU Fencing Club has existed since 2000, and holds practices on Mondays and Wednesdays in Skibo Gym. Fencing is a fun and safe sport, and it's fantastic for cardiovascular exercise, as there is much emphasis put into footwork as well as blade movement. Fencers also see improvement in hand-eye coordination, speed, balance, and reaction time.

Filmmaking Club
Description:
Each semester, the filmmaking club teaches its new members the basics of HD video and super-8 mm film. We also host demonstrations on editing, lighting, sound, and animation. With these skills and this filmmaking vocabulary, we set out to produce at least one student-written/directed film each semester. We offer a venue for students to display their work, also, at our annual student film festival held in the spring, which anticipates a more national scale in the upcoming year.
