CAB History

The Cougar Activities Board was created in the spring of 1980. Previously, the Entertainment Committee of SGA handled the programming for the campus, but as our campus grew, so did the need to develop a board whose primary focus was programming. Although our name has changed many times over the years (College Union Board, College Activities Board, Cougar Productions), our goal has always remained the same: to provide premier, FREE programming to all CofC students.
