Coastal Activities Board Application Packet
This packet is designed to inform you on what exactly Coastal Activities Board at CCU does,
more importantly this packet will go in to detail about the structure of the organization and the
expectations of our members. Coastal Activities Board (CAB) is one of the most active
organizations on campus that organizes and maintains co-curricular activities and programs for
Coastal Carolina University. Coastal Activities Board, which is student run, provides a variety of
quality entertainment and leadership opportunities to all Coastal Carolina University students.
CAB is completely staffed and operated by students and gives students a chance to get involved
in planning events by providing opportunities to play an active role on the Executive Board or on
a variety of committees throughout the year.
We are looking for hard working and dedicated students to be a part of Coastal Activities Board!
By being a part of this organization you will have the opportunity to plan events for the Coastal
Carolina community. For the upcoming spring semester we are requiring all students that are
interested in being in CAB to participate in the application process so we can determine which
area you are specifically interested in so you can gain more experience with planning and
executing events! At the conclusion of the spring semester we will reopen the application process
for the academic year 2014-2015. If you have any further questions regarding Coastal Activities
Board Executive Board, Committee Chair, and General Member application process, please feel
