Get Involved: UPB

Good morning, Ashby!

I received an email yesterday from one of the staff members that works for the University Program Board. It includes information about becoming involved with the organization next year! Please read below and let me know if you have any questions!


Hello! I hope you’re having a great start to your semester. My name is Lindsey Mitchell and I am the Graduate Advisor for the University Program Board.

The University Program Board is charged with providing educational, social, recreational and multicultural programs for the JMU community. To achieve this goal, UPB receives the largest percentage of student fees allocated by the Student Government Association. In this role, UPB has an immense responsibility to serve the 18,000 students who attend JMU.

We have begun our application process and I wanted to invite you to apply. Executive Council members are not required to have programming experience; however, we are looking for a strong interest and sense of work ethic.

We will have information sessions on the following nights:
January 28 @ 7-8 pm in Transitions (PIT Crew for new members)
February 4 @ 8-9 pm in Taylor 400 (Executive Council)
February 10 @ 8-9 pm in Festival Conference Room #3 (Executive Council)

At these information sessions, current members of the UPB Executive Council will explain their various positions, explain the application process and answer any questions.

I highly encourage you to apply and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at mitcheln@jmu.edu. Applications are now available on our website at http://upb.jmu.edu or in the UPB office in Taylor 234.

Thank you,

Lindsey Mitchell


Until next time...
Katie, Ashby Hall Director
