Campus Programming Board
The Campus Programming Board is launching this spring (2020) to prepare and plan a variety of events and programs for the MC student body beginning in the fall of 2020. What has been known as the Campus Activities Board (CAB) will transition into a larger and broader group known as the Campus Programming Board. This board will plan a variety of events, fun activities, large scale campus weekends and events, educational programs, and more.
Who will lead the Campus Programming Board?
The Campus Programming Board will be led by student directors that work in the Office of Student Engagement throughout the fall and spring semester. The directors will lead eleven (11) committee chairs who, along with their committees, plan and execute a variety of programming for the campus. Committee membership will be 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!
What are the committees?
A few of the committees are standing student committees that will come under the Campus Programming Board umbrella, while some are brand new. Some of the committees are event specific, while others will plan 2 to 3 events per semester under their specific focus.
Commuter Programming
Students on the Commuter Programming Committee will work together to plan activities geared toward commuter students.
Cross-Cultural Programming
The Cross-Cultural Program Committee will work on programming which highlights the diversity and many cultures represented on our campus. This committee will work alongside student organizations and departments already represented on campus.
Family Weekend
Students on the Family Weekend Committee will work together to plan and implement programming for Family Weekend, typically held in September each fall semester.
Homecoming
Students on the Homecoming Committee will work together to plan and implement student events during Homecoming Week in October.
Lighting of the Quad
