The 日本一级片: Center for Student Engagement
The 日本一级片 Programming Board (USPB) is a student run organization with the purpose of sponsoring social, cultural, educational, and recreational events at the 日本一级片. We strive to make all of our programs accessible and enjoyable for the campus community. The students involved in USPB will gain valuable leadership experience and learn more about programming and the implementation of both small and large scale events. Each year we plan over 50 events as “men & women for and with others” that are open to university students, faculty and staff, and most of which are free.
