UPB Committee Members with Alex Morgan.
Students lead the work of two committees that create and promote a diverse array of campus programs. The E-Board consists of six director positions that make up UPB. The positions include President, Director of Special Events, Director of Concerts, Director of University Events, Director of Speakers, and Director of media. The UPB committee is made up of students who help create and work at events, and the Media committee promotes those events through various channels of social media. Committee members are just as important as the directors and contribute so much to this program. There is so much hands on experience and fun that come with being part of UPB. All students are encouraged to get involved by joining a UPB committee.
