Involvement & Engagement 141|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey The SGB meets on every Tuesday that classes are in session at 5 p.m. in the McFarland Student Union, in the Formal Dining Room. The organization utilizes Robert’s Rules of Order in its decision-making process and all SGB meetings are open to the entire University community. Kutztown University Activities Board (KUAB) One of the best ways to be involved on campus is to be part of the Kutztown University Activities Board (KUAB). KUAB is a student organization that selects and implements a diverse series of events for the student body. The mission of KUAB is threefold: • To create an atmosphere of social, cultural, and community awareness through diverse programming; • To maximize student learning and personal enrichment through the provision of programs that complement the curriculum; • To serve as social outlets which allow for the constructive use of free time. Membership is open to any student who pays the student activity fee and meets the following criteria: • 2.0 GPA; and • Student must attend two consecutive KUAB general board meetings, one KUAB event and one committee meeting. KUAB designs and coordinates a wide variety of programming including lectures, debates, musical performances, off campus day trips, tournaments as well as supporting University-wide events such as Welcome Week, Family Day, and Homecoming. The executive board of KUAB consists of four members: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. In addition to the executive board, there are four committees, which coordinate all aspects of specific events. These include social media, fundraising, social diversity and recruitment. KUAB can be contacted via email at kuab@kutztown.edu or by visiting MSU 166. Off Campus Advisory Council (OCAC) The Off Campus Advisory Council serves as the liaison between the university students and community residents to improve communication through cooperative programming, and establish and maintain harmonious relationships between the two groups. It also provides opportunities for students to gain real life leadership experience through civic engagement. OCAC’s goals are: • To discuss relevant attitudes/issues brought to its attention by Kutztown students and community members; • To seek change or a better solution to relevant attitudes/issues; • To proactively plan programs that will strengthen relations between the University and community members. To ensure that OCAC meets its goals, the organization works closely with the Borough of Kutztown, the Kutztown Community Partnership and the Northeast Berks Chamber of Commerce to offer opportunities that will enhance and strengthen the quality of living in the community. In addition, monthly meetings are held for OCAC members and interested individuals who wish to discuss relevant issues and plan upcoming events in conjunction with its mission.
