The Activities Programming Board (APB) is the organization that provides fun and free activities to USI's students to provide entertainment outside of the classroom. Its members have the control and influence to bring entertainment they want to campus. They also plan all of the events and execute them themselves.
The APB office is located in University Center East in room 0250.
If you want information on upcoming events, email our Vice President of Communications, Haley McKeown at hjmckeown@eagles.usi.edu.
If you have any questions in regards to APB as a whole, contact our President, Jacob Smith at jcsmith8@eagles.usi.edu.
Join APB
All USI students are welcome to be a part of the Activities Programming Board! To become a general member, you must attend 2 of our meetings that occur every other Wednesday at 6:00pm in the Student Life Lounge. For questions, contact our Vice President of Membership, Sruthika Gangisetty at slgangiset@eagles.usi.edu.
Once the Spring semester approaches, if you are interested in leadership positions, you can also apply to be on the APB Board, where you can directly plan our events for the following Fall and Spring semesters.
Additionally, General Members are assigned to programming teams that operate like a committee. In your team, you will be able to help brainstorm ideas, make decisions about event planning, and assist the Programmer with the execution of the event.
Upcoming APB Events
Events are free to USI students. Come out and join us for fun stuff to do outside of the classroom. Find a full list of our events on our Engage USI page here.
