Movies, concerts, paintball and more: University Program Board (UPB) is the group behind many entertaining events students enjoy on- and off-campus.
The organization’s main goal is to coordinate educational, social and cultural activities for the university community.
UPB’s committees organize a number of events every year, including:
- Crave It: This event brings food trucks to campus and provides students with coupons to use.
- Fall and spring break trips: These trips take students off campus at highly subsidized prices, including transportation and hotel rooms. Past fall trips have included New York, Toronto and Montreal, while spring trips have taken students to locations like New Orleans and Miami.
- Fall concert: This event brings popular music acts like Waka Flocka Flame, Timeflies and Atlas Genius to campus.
- Spring comedian: UPB arranges for comedians like Hasan Minhaj and Trevor Noah to perform
- Thwing Tuesdays: These weekly events start at noon in the Thwing Center atrium. UPB aims to provide food from off campus and/or food to complement a partner organization’s activity or event.
