What does the Activities Board do?

The activities board is responsible for planning and implement events – be they educational, recreational, entertainment, stress breaking, edgy, pride month, breast cancer awareness, etc.

What do you think of the activities board this year?

“I think they were amazing. They have done record-breaking things. The biggest is the participation from students in their events; they have blown through almost every record that has ever been held at least by double. I think that an increased and better promotion from a cohesive team had a lot to do with that.

How does the activity board
 pick the events?

Some events are fixed such as the Halloween festival and each quarter we have a family movie night, art days right around finals to break stress. Other events are brought by members of the team. We encourage them to think big, because we can always scale it down if we have to, but we want to give our student leaders on the activities board as much latitude as possible. It is part of their training and part of their development. Sometimes they bring an outlandish idea to the table and they have to sell that to the rest of the team that’s going to be working those events. Sometimes ideas come from other students, and I feel like it’s our duty to make that happen.” ​
