Is there a lack of events on campus? This is a familiar question at Keuka College and often asked around the last class of the day, when you’re most likely to make plans for the night to get away from your studies.The answer to the question is no. There’s an abundance of events that, for the most part, aren’t attended as well as they should. How many times have you gone to the cafeteria and there was a band playing in the Brezinsky room? It’s a familiar sound, and rarely do students go in and listen to the music, even if it is good.According to Director of Student Activities and CAB Adviser Jen Furner, “The Campus Activities Board (CAB) has reduced the amount of events it holds to accommodate more opportunities, from a calendar perspective, for clubs and organizations to do more, and in turn avoid conflicts so attendance can be maximized at events.” She also went on to say that CAB has seen “amazing attendance” at all of the events that they’ve held so far this semester.So next time you want to ask yourself, or someone around you, why there’s nothing to do on campus, look around. There are many clues everywhere to show you what is going on that night.

Here are the top nine ways to find out about campus events:

1. CAB and Event Tonight t-shirts, which are worn by CAB members on the days of events.
2. KCCAB03, yeah, they have an AOL.
3. Facebook Group, it’s named CAB.
4. Table tents, those little plastic things in the Geiser and the Terrace.
5. Scrolling message board (located above the D-boxes) and updated every two weeks.
6. CAB e-mails about important events are sent out periodically.
7. At the end of Senate meetings, the president opens the floor for announcements of events
8. Announce: you get those e-mails, but how often do you read them?
9. KC Currents: you get those e-mails, too.

We know there’s more to Keuka College than studies and sports. We know there’s lots going on in our 40+ clubs & organizations. We understand that occasionally there are issues you’d like to sound off about. We know it’s tough getting publicity for your event. So welcome to Campus Life.

This is an interactive area devoted to living, working and socializing at Keuka College. You can expect to find all kinds of interesting stuff here, ranging from the story behind the beautiful paintings in the library, photo galleries, video clips, interviews with interesting people, the student handbook, community service information, and much more.

So have a look around. The content here is maintained by a group of student and staff editors who you are always welcome to e-mail. In fact, we encourage you to send us as much e-mail as you can with ideas for interesting homepage stories, letting us know about events on campus, compelling photos you took (yes, we’ll give you credit), buffalo wing chip dip recipes, and whatever else you feel compelled to send our way.

And please, take a few seconds to let us know what you think about this area. You can use the poll below, leave a response, or send us e-mail.

But before you leave a response, we hope you’ll take a quick look at the Keuka.edu Community Standards. We think they’re pretty entertaining to read (keep in mind they’re rules … you can only spice rules up so much …) and they govern what type of content is and isn’t acceptable to post here.
