It was good to see you all during the Activities Day last Friday! ABC is very happy to see all of our groups full of energy during the start of the year. I am pleased to announce the opening of our 2024-2025 ABC co-sponsorship application. We will prioritize programming that focuses on student life on campus, ensuring that these funds are being used efficiently to foster campus culture. In an effort to help students manage costs for activities held in Lerner Hall, Event Management has set up a fund that will support AV technician expenses. The first ABC Town Hall will be tentatively occurring on Wednesday, September 25, 9-10:30pm EST in Roone Auditorium (not 8-10pm, as said before). Your group is required to send at least 1 representative. Failure to attend town hall will result in penalties, and attendance will be taken.
