The Civic Engagement Board is an ASUI executive board.  Interested undergraduate students may contact Shannon Hohl (board chair) to become a board member, volunteer for activities and events, and help plan new initiatives and programming.  Typically the CEB works with community members and the ASUI Center for Volunteerism and Social Action to give students access to service and volunteerism opportunities.
