Special Business
Introduction by Tim Moore, Director of Student Activities
The staff and advisors are here to enable your success.
Peers have entrusted you to make student life better and make a difference for them.
The quality of events is based on the value gained by participants.
Quality is about process as much as it is about results.
Funding for SAB comes from all 22,000 students. We are responsible to all of them!
It should be a goal for every committee to have 20 members. Therefore we will have 1,200 people at every event and have 1/20th of the clean-up time for every event.
Be Impactful!
Introduction and Ice Breaker
Two truths and a lie!

She promoted John King instead of Jim King for $15/hour.
The Invisible Pole – Stu – WINNER!
They just move in front of you out of nowhere!
The Flying Laptop - Matthew
Yes, I left my laptop on top of the car. It’s black, the car is black, it was dark out! The data is safe, though.
X-treme Golf Cart Driving
She flipped a golf cart a work in front of lots of important people – now she’s not allowed to touch them!
