Intern Applications!

Hello from your trusty Intern Coordinator! It's that time of year: the 2008-2009 intern applications are due Monday, September 15th by 5pm outside the UCAB office. I hope you'll apply!
Why should you, you ask? Maybe because interns get to get their hands dirty with just about everything UCAB does as the campus's premier event planner. Whether it be volunteering with the next big concert, helping keep the celebrity speaker comfortable, or inflating the crazy obstacle courses for the Sunken Garden, you won't ever be bored. And then there's our very own events! It's an election year, so we're planning a huge election night soiree for the revamped Lodge 1! Also in November, we've running the hugely popular Paint-Your-Own Pottery event. Plus events that you yourselves will envision and create!!!! How could you pass up such a great opportunity to produce large-scale events, wear copious amounts of yellow, and hang out with some truly awesome people?!

Get your application from www.wm.edu/ucab under the "Interns" tab and turn it into the glittery manila envelope outside our office! Then sign-up for a painless interview! It's that simple. Can't wait to meet you all!

UCAB Love,
Taylor

General Board Retreat

Hi everyone,

UCAB normally meets in committees (Music, Comedy, Publicity, etc.), but once a month everyone in UCAB gets together and has a General Board meeting. It's a great chance for us to share ideas about events, get to know people outside of our committees, and to discuss the current issues facing us as a board.

We had our beginning of the year "retreat" meeting in August. We did some icebreakers, shared news like the upcoming name change process, and discussed our thoughts about the year ahead. All in all it was pretty fun, and it's one of the great UCAB member benefits.

Oh, and check out the pictures from the retreat - each committee had to act out a particular machine (on the left is Homebrew being a fridge and on the right is Music being a dump truck).

UCAB is changing its name!

In light of the University Center’s change to the Sadler Center, UCAB (University Center Activities Board) has decided to follow suit and seize the opportunity to build a new brand for itself with a fresh name and logo. The change will be a process that lasts the entire fall semester leading up to a launch of the new name in the spring.

UCAB is asking for ideas and submissions from within the organization as well as the William & Mary student body. We are looking for something catchy, professional, and relevant to the College. (Keep in mind that SCAB has already been ruled out!)

If you have any ideas, please send them to ucabnamechange@gmail.com. The submission deadline is Wednesday, October 8, 2008. After this date, UCAB’s Executive Board will narrow down the list, receive feedback from the General Board members in the organization, and then make the final decision.

Please direct any questions to Thomas Milteer, UCAB's Director of Public Relations (thmilt@wm.edu).
Check out the facebook event.

Tickets Reminder...

Just a reminder, if you need to purchase a ticket for a UCAB event (such as Rob Riggle on September 19!), you must do one of the following:


1. Go to the box office in PBK and purchase there (M-F 10am-2pm).
2. Or, order online here.
3. Or, call them at 757-221-2674.


Thanks!

Ready for the year!

Hey W&M,

The UCAB blog will soon be buzzing again with lots to talk about - our exec board has already met (yep, even though it's summer), and UCAB has some incredible events lined up for fall. All of UCAB is pumped, ready to work, ready to listen, and ready to bring you the best events possible.

Stay tuned, and as always check out our website for the updated calendar (www.wm.edu/ucab).

<3, UCAB

Oh sad day... SOTG must be moved indoors. It's too bad you can't control the weather, but when things do work out, as they did for I am Legend at Lake Matoaka, things are just perfect. I know there's been a lot of interest not only in the on-the-Green part, but also the movies. So we will still be showing Juno and Cloverfield at 8:30pm and 10:00pm at the UC Chesapeake.
