The Cultural Programming Board (CPB) is a collaborative of chartered student organizations that hosts high-impact cultural programming on campus; elevates the relevance of underrepresented cultural perspectives; and stimulates critical dialogue about culture, inclusion, and community.
The CPB is a growing network of student organizations and their members. We serve as a unifying structure for communication, leadership development, and skill and capacity building. OIL and CPB develop large-scale programming together, including the Cultural Org Awards in spring.
Goals
- Promote cross- and intercultural learning
- Foster collaboration among students from different backgrounds
- Elevate the presence and relevance of underrepresented cultural perspectives
- Stimulate critical dialogue about culture, inclusion, and community
- Improve student leader skills, knowledge, and capacity
Who can be a part of the Cultural Programming Board?
Any chartered student organization that has an interest in creating culturally relevant programming at Carleton is welcome to attend the CPB meetings. Although many organizations that do this work have missions that center around an aspect of identity or serve an affinity group, this is not a requirement for being a part of culturally positive programming on campus.
If you are unsure about whether you would benefit from having your organization represented in the CPB, you may reach out to Marshall (rbell3) directly to have a conversation.
Funding
Student organizations have access to funding through their spring allocations, which are established at the end of the previous spring term. Additional funding sources are available including from partnered offices, Carleton Student Association (CSA) special allocations, and the Cultural Programming Fund. You can find out information about CSA funding sources and the process of requesting funds on CSA’s website. These funding sources should be considered before accessing the Cultural Programming Board funding pool. OIL will provide an additional $300 for the year to CPB members who show regular engagement with our organization. Organizations should use the Purchase and Reimbursement Request Form on our website to access that funding. Note: submissions must be submitted a week in advance from the date of the event.
