264 Fall 2022 at Harding University encompassed much change, including the rebrand of the Campus Activities Board (CAB). CAB was under the Office of Campus Life, which was a section of the Office of Student Life. CAB became a larger part of campus life, instead of a separate entity under it. Senior Grace Morse was a codirector for CAB in fall 2022. Her job was to coordinate and plan events for the student body, including concerts and game nights. “CAB is done, but we are still doing activities through campus life,” she said. Morse said the rebrand partially stemmed from wanting to build professional student leaders. With CAB, any student could come in and ask for a job. The students from spring 2022 continued to be part of the rebranded campus life in fall 2022. Additionally, in fall 2022, they offered jobs that were major-specific. “We want to make it a space for people of different majors, like public relations or marketing, to come in and be able to have a job with us,” Morse said. “We think that helps with development or professionalism.” Senior Baylie Hess was a student worker for CAB. She was part of the CAB team since the beginning of her junior year in fall of 2021. “So for all of the events that we have, I’m just supposed to show up, get the student body involved and be enthusiastic about what we are doing,” Hess said. Hess said that the rebrand from CAB to a larger scale campus life made events more inviting and open to all. Additionally, she said a tangible sign of the rebrand was the Instagram handle, as it changed to @ hardingcampuslife. Director of Campus Life Abigail Stinnett helped oversee the student co-directors and workers of CAB and the events they planned for the student body. The events included trivia nights, karaoke and bingo. “People are still going to call it CAB for a while, until there is a completely fresh group of students who might not know what it is,” Stinnett said. Campus life shared student association, sporting events and social club information. It had a place for students to know what was happening on campus. Stinnett said their goals in the rebrand were partially inspired by the new administration to “improve student development ... engage more with students and build better experiences for them.” Written by: Camille White CAB rebrands to Campus Life in fall 2022.
