Otis College Campus Activities Board
Otis College of Art and Design student leaders are devoted to enriching students’ experiences on campus by providing them with a network of support and guidance, developing interactive programming, and fostering a friendly and diverse community that is built on respect.
CAB works to enhance and unify the Otis college community by coordinating, overseeing, executing and evaluating all student led campus activities. All members of CAB provide leadership, assistance, and support to fellow CAB members and student led campus activities. Program chairs within CAB include a Inclusion Chair, Health & Wellness Chair, Film & Media Chair, Off-Campus Events Chair, Secretary/Marketing Chair, and 2 Special Events Chairs. Program chairs create, establish, and sustain partnerships within student organizations, faculty in academic departments, and in some cases off-campus partners, vendors, outside artists, and entertainment agencies.

Hello, my name is Morrison Salmon (She/Her) and I’m the Wellness Chair for Campus Activities Board(CAB). I was lucky enough to grow up in South Lake Tahoe California where I used the beautiful landscape to spark my passions for the arts, environmental conservation, and health and wellness. With each project or activity I participated in from town clean-ups to school sports, like soccer, I gained a greater appreciation for my hometown and overall health. They gave me an outlet that allowed me to make new connections within my community and have now inspired me to expand my wellness journey so I can help others reach their mindfulness goals. I’m excited to use my CAB role within the school to achieve this as well as make my mark within this amazing institution.

CAB Alumni Testimonials:
Being part of the Campus Activities Board was amazingly fulfilling. Having a hand in shaping the campus life of your peers is a unique and valuable experience, and the team feels like family! I developed crucial workplace soft skills like teamwork, empathy, and organization. I also gained immense confidence in my abilities as a leader and student. I will never forget the memories and friendships I've made during my three years as a CAB member!
Going to college is an era of self-discovery and exploration; CAB pushed me to partake in those moments that define the "college experience" by encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. It allowed me to develop skills such as communication, collaboration, and time management which I believe are essential to have no matter what career path you choose - all while fostering my personal and professional development.
I joined Campus Activities Board in the middle of my foundation year at Otis and have been a part of it since. I credit my personal and professional development to my experience working as a student leader because it allowed me to gain confidence in my event planning and social skills, which led to me finding other opportunities across campus. Best yet, I made the best friends through my work at CAB!
