“I would highly recommend any student that wants to be a leader on campus to apply for a position,” said Olivia Senter, president of SAB. “My time on the board has not only given me professional and personal development that I couldn’t have received anywhere else, but has also given me a group of student-leaders in which I have grown very close.”

Applicants are highly encouraged to visit the SAB office before the application deadline. If you have any questions, please email Olivia Senter, SAB president, at president@ukab.org.
