Campus Activity Council

The Campus Activity Council (CAC) works hard year-round to build relationships within the campus community and provide creative and positive entertainment that engages the entire campus and student body.

These activities are based on good stewardship principles and devised and implemented with much care and consideration of the students' time and money.

The council also provides opportunity for CAC members to build life skills by working together and forming committees. Faculty and staff advisors from the Student Life Division are Laurie Miller, director of student programs, and Doug Wandersee, director of recreational sports and the fitness center.
