Campus Activities Board (CAB)
CAB consists of 8 to 10 students
who work with the campus activities director to plan and organize
activities throughout the year. The activities take place both on
and off campus and are either free or inexpensive. CAB also coordinates
and supplies funds for the clubs on campus. The types of clubs may
change every few years, depending on the interests of the current
students. CAB will often work with faculty members to provide support
for learning activities.
Information about CAB activities
can be found on the Student Life calendar which is posted monthly
in each Mod and around campus, the master calendar on the Hesston
College Web site, or the Campus Activities Web page in the Student
Life section of the college Web site.
