CAB Leadership Positions


Campus Activities Board (CAB) is a part of the Office of Student Life at GVSU. CAB was formed as a combination of the former Laker Traditions Team and Spotlight Productions. Our structure includes two programming committees: Traditions and Activities. Our events range from Homecoming and Presidents' Ball to craft nights and coffee-house style live music. We put on a large variety of different fun events, so there is sure to be something everyone would enjoy!
