Campus Activities Board
Who are we? The Campus
Activities Board (CAB) is the University of Maine's programming
board, and is comprised of student volunteers. CAB is funded and
advised by the Office of Campus Activities and Student Engagement.
What do we do? CAB works with the University of Maine
community to provide safe, fun and educational programming. Our
goal is to remain current and provide the latest entertainment
options available to the college market. We are active members of
the National Association for Campus Activities and send a
delegation annually to the NACA NE Regional Conference. CAB
strives to serve the entire University of Maine community as well
as to represent the University well to outside agencies and the
public. Through co-sponsorship of many of our events, we continue
to reach a major portion of the campus community.
Who can join CAB? Any student who is interested in
planning activities and having a great time doing it is welcome to
join CAB! There are many things that you could do as a member -
the options are all yours. We are open to your ideas!!
What is the commitment? CAB only asks of you that which
you want to give. You are always the person in charge of how much
time you are willing to share with CAB. Students looking to fill
a leadership role should inquire about the time commitment and
position expectations before accepting the position.
