Central Activities Network is the major entertainment and cultural programming body at CCSU. It's a volunteer student organization, made up of nine committees: Comedy, Diversity, Film/Video, Fine Arts, Music, Recreation, Talks & Topics, Sidetracks (a monthly activities publication), and Special Events. The students involved with the Program Council plan nearly 200 activities each year -- events like concerts, comedy shows, a weekly film series, ballet performances, exciting lectures, and trips to sporting events. Members are also involved with other campus organizations in presenting major all-campus events such as First Week, Homecoming, and Spring Week. Students who volunteer with the Program Council gain valuable experience in leadership, communication, budgeting and time management skills; they also have fun, and make a lot of friends along the way!
