Committees
General assembly members are required to sit on at least one of the following committees:
At the Show Concerts
The Concert Committee focuses on bringing great music to Western's campus. This committee will work on anything from small coffee house events to a BIG concert at Miller! If you have a love for live music and like to have fun, then you should check out the concert committee.
"Without music life would be a mistake." ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Bernie's After Hours Comedy Club
The Bernies After Hours Comedy Club focuses on relieving the day-to-day stress from students by bringing the gift of laughter for an affordable price. Anyone who is a fan of stand-up comedy or even comedy in general will love this committee. We are responsible for bringing comedians to campus and putting together their events. Become a member of Bernie's, and you will see opportunity for experience in promotions, event planning, and a chance to meet your favorite comedians in person!
"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." ~Victor Borge
Cultural
Since WMU has such a diverse community of students, CAB has a committee to specifically showcase this. Cultural events focuses on events highlighting different cultures on campus! Slam poetry, break dancing competitions and an international festival are just some kinds of events we bring to campus to do this.
Miller Movies
Miller Movies is a movie usually put on three times a semester that is no longer in theatres but is not yet available at Blockbuster. The cost to attend is $1 for students with their Bronco ID and $2 without. As a committee, we discuss possible movies to bring to WMU, how we can promote them, and fun giveaways to make the Miller Movie experience more exciting. For those committee members who chose to work the actual event, we serve the FREE popcorn, hand out the giveaways and introduce the movie! After doing all of that, those who help get to watch the movie completely free of charge! If you enjoy getting into movies free (the legal way) as well as a laid back atmosphere then the Miller Movies committee is the committee for you.

Special Events
What is Special Events? It is CAB’s event series that is everything besides concerts, comedians, and movies. In previous years, the Special Events Committee has brought hypnotists, slam poets, mentalists/illusionists, dance groups, and hosts CAB’s Open Mic Night. Events are usually $1 with a Bronco ID and $2 for non-WMU students.
Street Team
The Street Team is the group of dedicated Cabbies that spread the word about events on campus. We are responsible for putting fliers on kiosks, inside buildings, at bus stops, and off-campus locations. Besides putting up fliers, we chalk sidewalks all over campus with hopes that people look down as they walk. Come join our committee and be part of the fun!
Triple R
The Triple R committee stands for Recruitment , Recognition , and Retention. We brainstorm new ideas to keep our Campus Activities Board growing. The Triple R committee is in its second year and some of the activities that we have done is helping to build our activities boards leadership skills, communication , and overall the fun of the organization.
