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 2024.  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 2024 are due to CAB by Monday, Aug. 19, 2024 no later than 11:45pm. 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 $2,000 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 is 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, the CSI Student Film Festival with the Media Culture Department; and Majors and Minors Week with the Center for Advising and Academic Success. Funding has also been provided for programs to strengthen the community and promote pride in CSI such as Weeks of Welcome programming and Spirit Week.

CAB will review the Fall 2024 proposals that are received by the Monday, Aug. 19, 2024 at 11:45pm deadline at a late August 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-September. It is recommended that requests be for events in October, November, and December. Spring 2025 events may be submitted in November–a call for proposals will be sent out in October.
