What is STUB?
As members of the Student Union Board (STUB), we planned 11 campus wide events with 2,000+ students in overall attendance. Each week was filled with 10 hours in the office, contacting vendors and planning events, a 2 hour weekly staff meeting, and coordinated time to go to the work-space to paint and create the props. I chaired two of these events, throughout the year, which included managing, delegating, allocating budgets, and having final say over these events.
Big Party was the inaugural event of the year. Three weeks before school started, I delegated tasks to my team members for decor, activities, and crafts. I was in communication with the campus dining service to provide dinner for 1,800 students. I managed and allocated a budget of $20,000 to transform Tiffany Loop into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
STUB and Catalyst, a multiethnic group on campus, planned the 1st Multicultural Celebration ever held at SPU as part of the VPCA's Culture Week. As the chair and pioneer for the event, I oversaw the 6 month process of contracting performance groups, tent rentals, sound equipment rentals, decor delegations, and a social media presentation. I managed a budget of approximately $3,000 and a combined team of 15 to provide entertainment and food for over 300 students and faculty.
Along with being the chair of 2 events throughout the year, I helped with delegations in the 8 other event. Whether I was on decor, crafts, activities, or finding vendors, it was crucial I put the time and effort to research the best options for the decided theme.
In addition, I had a direct hand in filming the promo video for the Halloween Masquerade Ball and creating a website for Talent Show 2017.
