The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is the programming board that allocates an earmarked portion of the Student Activity Fee for social, cultural, educational, and community service programs. CAB is beginning the process of identifying programs for Fall 2022.  If your department is planning a program for students and believes that CAB may be interested in co-sponsoring the event we encourage you to submit a request for funding.

Community Proposals for Fall 2022 are due to CAB by Monday, Apr. 25, no later than 10:00am.  

The application is Web-based and can be found on CSI CONNECT. 

Information about the Community Proposal process can be found online.

CAB sets aside a limited amount of funds per semester for community proposal funding. CAB will not approve funds in an amount above $1,500 for any specific proposal. Additionally, an individual department may submit as many events as they choose, but CAB will only fund one event per department. 

Decision-making criteria are below and CAB considers the following questions:

·               Does CAB already do this? Does this fill a need for students that CAB is currently not providing?

·               Are CSI students the target audience? If not, who is the target audience?

·              What is the approximate number of students in the target audience? Is it within the fiscal guidelines?

·              Will the proposed program interest CSI students?

·              Does this program have a history with CAB? Has the event been done well in the past?

·              What part of the CAB mission does this meet? (Social, Cultural, Educational, Service)?

CAB has funded numerous campus programs including Global Kitchen events with the Center for Global Engagement, CSI Student Film Festival; Majors and Minors Week with the Center for Advising and Academic Success, and Composers Now concerts with the Performing and Creative Arts Department. Funding has also been provided for programs to strengthen the community and promote pride in CSI such as Involvement Fairs. 

CAB will review the Fall 2022 proposals that are received by the Monday, Apr. 25 prior to the 10:00am deadline at a Late April/Mid-May meeting. Please note that since CAB funding requests must be approved by Student Government and the CSI Association, approvals may not be finalized until mid-summer or early fall.
