The
Campus Activities Board (CAB) sponsors many of the social events happening
all over the AC Campus. From the big spring concert and holiday ball
to comedians and big prize bingo, CAB’s goal is to make sure that
AC students are having fun, all semester long! The dedicated members
of CAB work hard each week planning and advertising events for the whole
campus to enjoy. All students are invited and encouraged to join CAB
to be involved in the deciding who comes to campus.
Meetings
take place every Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the Student Activities Resource
Room in the basement of the Hagan Campus Center (below the post office).
The general meetings run for roughly 15 minutes and then members break
off into their subcommittees for the remainder of the hour. Regardless
of whether you’ve been to one, five, or no meetings at all, everyone
is welcome! CAB appreciates everyone’s help and is always looking
for some fresh faces to join.
The subcommittees
of CAB are as follows: Comedy, Special Events, Live @ Charlie’s,
Concerts, Formal Events, Family Weekend and Siblings’ Weekend.

Charlie’s Snack bar area. Feel free to stop by anytime, call extension
