Campus Activities Board (CAB)<br />
At the beginning of each year, <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech students<br />
elect a Campus Activities Board (CAB) consisting of a<br />
president, vice president, secretary-treasurer and four student<br />
representatives. The Campus Activities Board plans activities<br />
for the student body on a year-long basis. Activities include:<br />
intramural sports, pizza parties, snow sculpturing, Vikings trips,<br />
cake decorating contests - and everything in between! Students<br />
are encouraged to get involved with the CAB by casting their<br />
vote and also by attending meetings to voice their opinion.<br />
Some programs elect representatives to attend CAB meetings<br />
on behalf of their program.<br />
