What's a Waiver? A waiver is a document that involves you giving your consent and acknowledging certain information. In our case, by signing the GatorFest! Waiver Packet, you're acknowledging that you understand the nature of the event and the activities you'll be participating in.
Why the Waiver? The GatorFest! organizers care about your safety and well-being throughout the event. The waiver is here to ensure that you are informed about the event's activities and any associated risks. It's like a heads-up to let you know what you're getting into and what kind of activities you might encounter.
Your Informed Decision: The waiver packet helps you make an informed decision about your participation. It outlines that while GatorFest! is designed for enjoyment and learning, some activities might involve physical exertion, potential hazards, or challenges. By signing the waiver, you're saying, "Hey, I understand that there might be some risks, but I'm choosing to participate anyway."
How to Sign: When you're ready to dive in and make the most of GatorFest!, you'll use your SFSU email address to sign the waiver packet through DocuSign. This is a digital platform that makes the process easy and secure.
Your Signature, Your Responsibility: Remember, your signature on the waiver shows that you've read and understood the information provided. It's a way of showing that you're aware of the nature of the event and the possible activities involved.
So, as you embark on this exciting journey of GatorFest, keep in mind that signing the waiver isn't meant to deter you, but rather to empower you with knowledge. It's all about enjoying the experience while making sure you're fully aware of what's in store.
