Student Activities Board

Student Activities Board (SAB)

Origin of the organization:

The Student Activities Board is one of the oldest organizations on campus. It was founded to help students become more involved and become comfortable with Drake University. It helped answer many students' requests to stay active and not become bored. Although SAB may have great ideas to kick-start any boring day, there has also been contraversy in the past dealing with faculty taking part and becoming involved with the organization as well. This became public in The Times Delphic in the August of 1987 paper. It caused an uproar that led many students to believe they were just being monitored and teachers thinking they were there to baby-sit them.
