Events

A large part of the college educational experience is learning outside of the classroom, and CAC provides many opportunities for this real-life learning. While participating in CAC events, students learn about diversity, leadership, friendship and the skills it takes to program events for more than 1,000 people. As a part of CAC, students will have a variety of responsibilities, ranging from passing out pizza on the South Oval and raising support through sponsorship to designing event publicity fliers and T-shirts.
