Club Ed: Ajouni in "Campus Activities Board"

Check out how involved our Communication Studies majors are! Today we are profiling sophomore COMS major Ajouni Singh and her involvement with the Campus Activities Board (CAB). Fittingly for a COMS major, Ajouni serves as the Communications Director for CAB.

CAB Communications Director and COMS major Ajouni

I asked Ajouni to tell us more about CAB and why she got involved: “The Campus Activities Board is an organization on campus that plans and executes social, fun events on campus. We are behind events such as the annual Fall Fest concert, all of the dances and movie screenings, and the Carnival we hold in the spring! As Communications Director, I’m in charge of all forms of promotions! Over summer I designed the T-shirts, sunglasses, and brochures. Now that the year has begun, I keep up with the social media (Facebook and Twitter) and the USF website for CAB. I also help everyone else promote their events, and I’ve recently taken on Campus Movie Fest to help them with their promo as well!

I got involved with CAB last year because of my interest in simply getting involved, but I chose CAB specifically because I want to be an Event Planner eventually, and this is great practice for planning in the real world. It also coincides with my major well because it is all about working with people and understanding different team dynamics, and communicating with such a large range of people. Anyone can get involved in CAB by coming to our meetings every other Thursday in UC 402/403!”

CAB has several fun events coming up! Check them out:

Fall Fest tickets are on sale now for $10, and there’s a “Teach Me How To Dougie” competition in Gleeson Plaza on the 27th to win free tickets!

New this year is the Campus Movie Fest, which launches today! Here’s more information from Ajouni:

“CAB is bringing in a new and exciting company to campus to involve students in a new way. The program is called Campus Movie Fest, and it is the largest student film-festival in the country.”

You can find more information about the Campus Movie Fest here: http://www.usfca.edu/cab/cmf/

Basically, Campus Movie Fest is a student film festival where students are given one week to make a 5 minute film. Students are given all of the equipment you need to make a movie! How fun does that sound? There will even be a premier and a red carpet!
