Campus Programming Board
The Campus Programming Board plans events, programs and activities for the entire undergraduate student body. These events are aimed at a variety of audiences within the student body. The Board programs through a variety of committees, including: Pop-Up Events, Music & Arts Events, Commuter Programming, Special Events, Spring Fever Week, Homecoming, Student Productions, Lighting of the Quad, Cross-Cultural Events and more!
Who leads the Campus Programming Board?
The Campus Programming Board is led by student directors that work in the Office of Student Engagement throughout the fall and spring semester. The directors advise committee chairs who, along with their committees, plan and execute a variety of programming for the campus. Committee membership is on a semester-by-semester basis, meaning you don't have to commit to the entire year or multiple years. You can decide how much you want to be involved!
