"Choosing to get involved with SAB was the best decision I have made in college. Putting on events and providing opportunities for students to have unique college experiences, such as singing along with The Lumineers, laughing with Aziz Ansari or cheering on the Cats at a Cat Watch Party, has made my time on campus feel much more valuable,” said Rachel Sloan, vice president of internal affairs. “Not only is it rewarding to be able to give back to campus this way, but SAB has allowed me to find my community on campus, and I couldn't be more grateful for the people I've met through the organization!”
