Hosting an event almost every week, “the Student Activity Board is the biggest and main source of entertainment” according to Jesselyn Peterson Campus Relation Director, who has been in SAB for over a year.
According to Ivy Bogle, Student Activities Coordinator, “SAB is a source of events for students by fellow peers striving to do things that will allow students who go to Wayne State to feel represented.”
Zaynab Koutali, Novelty Coordinator for SAB, states that “SAB is all about human connection. I’ve made so many friends through SAB, even when I was not a board member. It’s also a great way to make connections off campus as well.”
As the main source of entertainment at WSC, putting an idea into motion is relatively easy. Peterson said “a lot of clubs don’t know this, but we do collaborations with other clubs when they approach us. One of my main jobs is to coordinate events with other clubs as well as events involving the community, for example, working directly with Haven house,” Bogle said. “We encourage students who aren’t a part of SAB to let us know what they want to see as the students are the audience here.”
Below are events happening in the months of September and October.
September 20 Plant Fest- Students will be able to get plants, decorate pots, receive mini figures they can place in their plants and learn how to make macramé. At the end, a trivia session will be held to win bigger plants.
