FAQ

 

I’m with a Registered Student Organization and I was wondering how I could get the University Program Board to co-sponsor an event with us?

We would love to work with you! Our co-sponsorship applications are on our website. If you have any questions please contact our and request one. You must submit your application to the UPB President at least one month prior to the event date. Remember, we are not a funding board! We really want to help plan your event and be a part of it, not just pay for it!

Where is your office located?

We are on the first floor of the Bone Student Center across from the Info Desk.

What type of commitment does it take to be on the UPB?

Well, that’s up to you. UPB is very flexible with time commitments. We understand that students' time commitments will vary because of classes, work and other activities on campus. Be as much a part of the UPB as you would like. If you think time commitment will be a problem, we would love to sit down with you and show how you can be a part of the UPB with the time you have!

How many committees am I allowed to join?

As many as you would like!

I can’t make your meetings, can I still get involved?

OF COURSE! We understand that your schedule may not fit into a committees meeting schedule. Contact us and let us know what committee(s) you are interested in and we will have the Chairperson of that committee contact you! A lot of work is done outside of the committee’s meeting time and we would love for you to give us a hand with it!

I am a member of the community, can I attend UPB events?

Well, sure! Our events are open to Illinois State students, faculty, staff, community, family and friends!

Who can apply for a Chairperson or Executive Board position?

We welcome all Illinois State students to apply for any of our positions! Applications will be available early second semester in our office and on our website!

Will you PLEASE bring Kelly Clarkson?

Haha, not so fast! There are many factors that go into choosing a major show artist. Feel free to suggest an artist, but please understand that we may not be able to bring a particular artist for many reasons. You can always join the Redbird Entertainment committee and learn how this process works!

How cool is UPB?

Too cool to fully grasp right here! Come to our events or one of our meetings and find out for yourself!

You didn’t answer my question! What now?!?

Email and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have!
