Student Activities & Inclusion

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) at Jefferson Community College is a student-run organization that provides a variety of quality entertainment and leadership opportunities for all students, allowing them to get involved on campus in a unique way. CAB provides students with experiences in planning, publicizing, budgeting and implementing programs that help them develop lifelong skills to complement their academic experiences at JCC.

CAB’s events not only help students relax and enjoy their time on campus - they also often provide students with a much-needed break from studying.
