Rose Hill Campus Activities Board

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) works in conjunction with the Office for Student Involvement to provide social, cultural, educational, and informational programming to the Fordham Community. As the primary programming entity on the Rose Hill Campus, CAB seeks to develop student leaders dedicated to high quality programs and entertainment.

CAB is made up of nine different committees and a larger general board which all have specific missions and goals. Throughout the year CAB hosts large scale events that are run by the entire board as well as smaller events that are managed by one of the ten committees. The general board members assist the committee chairs by staffing events, preparing event space, marketing and publicizing upcoming programs and brainstorming new program ideas.

Mission

The Campus Activities Board consists of nine committees chaired by students and a general board of student volunteers whose combined purpose is to provide the Fordham student community with services of an educational, social, cultural and informational nature. CAB may cooperate with, and complement, any group of the Fordham community seeking to offer educational, social, cultural, and informational programming for Fordham University, while working along side the Office for Student Involvement to achieve these goals.

Committees

  • Cinevents puts on movies around campus and special programming like Campus Film Fest during Spring Weekend!

  • The Cultural Committee aims to provide students access to the culture of New York City at an affordable and discounted cost. The Cultural Committee is responsible for programming monthly raffles where students can enter and win tickets to events throughout the city, including but not limited to, Broadway shows, sports games, and excursions to places such as the Ellis Island Immigration Museum.

  • The Concert Committee aims to provide Fordham students with activities of social, educational, and  cultural nature congruent with Jesuit ideals. The primary responsibility of the Concert Committee is to  bring musical acts for CAB’s large programming weekends, specifically Spring Weekend. At anytime, the Concert Committee may co­sponsor an event with any other University organization.

  • The general board members assist the committee chairs by staffing events, preparing event space, marketing and publicizing upcoming programs and brainstorming new program ideas. It is made up of approximately 40 student volunteers who represent each on-campus and off-campus residence hall as well as the commuting student population.

  • The Live! Committee is the sector of Campus Activities Board that puts on improvisational and stand-up comedian performances, as well as lectures and speakers for students. All events are free and occur throughout the semester both on and off campus. Past speakers include SNL cast members, politicians, journalists, and industry experts!
