About Us

The Activities Board is Carnegie Mellon’s largest student-run programming board, funded by your student activities fee. Since the late 70s, we’ve served and continue to serve the Carnegie Mellon community, bettering the student experience one event at a time. As a part of student government, the organization is comprised of four main committees: Concerts, Speakers, Events, and Publicity. Tech and Films are also committees in the Activities Board but are governed seperately from the AB organization as a whole.

Generally holding events at least two times a month during the school year, if not much more, some annual events we organize include the fall/Carnival concert, the Carnival Comedy Show, Chili Cookoff, Petting Zoo, and Last Day of Classes. Recent acts we've brought to campus include mxmtoon, Jimmy O. Yang, Antoni Porowski, Nghtmre, San Holo, Josh Peck, and Grant Imahara.
