The Campus Activity Board Organization (CAB) is off to a fresh start this semester with Advisor Misty Tavarez in their corner.
The newly elected board member’s consist of: President (Sophomore) Leanna Guerra, Human Development and Family Studies major; Vice-President (Senior) Gabriel Villarreal, Communications major; Secretary (Junior) Tania Garcia, Journalism major; Treasurer (Graduate Student) Shreyas Basavaraju Electrical, Engineering major, Historian (Junior) Jennifer Castaneda, Criminology major and Marketing Chair Maggie Ramirez Pre-Med major.
CAB provides all the entertainment for the university throughout the year. CAB helps sponsor a variety of different student activities throughout the year.
Along with new board members, Campus Activity Board has also added new chairs to their constitution such as: marketing, historian and treasurer.
“The Campus Activity Board is setting goals and re-building their foundation so that they can build from this year,” said Tavarez. “CAB has grown from seven to 70 in membership from Fall 2008- Spring 2009”.
They started with seven members at the Fall Carnival and by Spring Break; CAB was at a record high of 70 in membership.
“Seventy members has been the highest that CAB has ever had since its existence” said Guerra.
Guerra, who was recently elected the presidential position towards the end of Spring 2009, has a lot of confidence in her board members who have taken their desired positions.
Guerra believes that in order for CAB to succeed beyond their potential, they must work together as one and execute in the positions that they hold.
She says that the interviews and elections that took place for the cabinet helped CAB find the right people for the job.
She hopes to bring in attractions such as: big concerts, talk shows and other events.
Her focus for her organization is to get recognition for CAB for the many things that they host such as: Spring Fling, Singled Out and Fall Carnival.
Tavarez and Guerra agree that a more polished approach would help them establish a better relationship between the student body and the campus activity board.
“We have such a diverse student body,” Tavarez said. “We need to make sure we get all sides of it”.
