State of the Union Board Address

As the group of people attending the Union Board General Body meeting walked down the stairs to the MTCC Auditorium that relatively warm Tuesday afternoon, one could feel it in the air that something was different. Everything seemed the same, there was great food, but then Union Board always has great food and the presentation was set and ready to go, as always. But this was different. This was, in fact, the meeting where the President, Miriam Schmid, was to deliver the very special “State of the Union Board Address”.

Much like the actual State of the Union Address, this is the meeting where the President delivers a speech about everything that Union Board has achieved so far. At the meeting, the current Executive Board was introduced and their roles explained for the benefit of anyone who might want to apply for a position, since applications are open. The various programmers were introduced as well, and given cool tees that said UB in the front and “Programmer” in the back.

This semester, most of the Union Board general body meetings will be held on the Bridge in the MTCC, so if you have class around lunch time on Tuesdays, you should check them out! They even have the Scarlet Fever department doing some crazy stunts for your enjoyment! Some of the big Union Board events this semester include Spring Formal, musicals almost every Thursday evening, a game of assassins on campus, and a pillow fight among many others. So you should look out for these and mark your calendars!

If you are interested in finding out about events by Union Board on campus, just look at the UB calendar at their website, at ub.iit.edu. If you want to get more involved or just do not want to go on the website, just stop by a general body meeting Tuesdays at lunchtime on the bridge at MTCC and find out how you can help or apply for an Executive Board position!
