Kris Girouard, Director of Entertainment
The ENTERTAInment Committee
The entertainment committee is chaired by the Entertainment Director, with help from the assistant entertainment director. In this committee, there is lots of brainstorming that takes place. We often discuss the themes for big events, come up with fresh new event ideas, think of ways to involve more students, and a variety of other tasks. Often times the entertainment committee also helps set up and decorate for the events and is strongly encouraged to attend all events that interest them. Having a large and diverse committee helps to ensure that the interests of many students are taken into account when organizing events and other forms of entertainment.
Ways to get involved
You can join the entertainment committee by applying at the beginning of the year through the MASU or by contacting the entertainment director, but the best way to get involved is by attending the variety of events that are planned annually including:
SackVegas
First Class Bash (x2)
Last Class Bash (x2)
Winter Carnival
The ASCARS
And a variety of other events throughout the year!
