Brown Class Coordinating Board 2024 dressed up for our annual Gala!

“Class Coordinating Board (CCB)’s mission is to create a better Brown student experience by conceptualizing and executing campus-wide events to foster community and build tradition among undergraduates. ”

We aim to: 

  • Build a sense of community at Brown within the individual classes, amongst the classes, and between current students and alumni.

  • Enrich the Brown student experience by creating, planning, and putting on inclusive and accessible events that promote class spirit and unity.

  • Sustain long-loved Brown traditions while creating new events that represent the ever-changing student demographic.

 As the social branch of student government, our organization is uniquely structured to best support individual class years as well as the entire undergraduate population. More information on each class board’s structure

 
 

Individual Class Boards: Class Specific Events

Class Board is composed of annually elected representatives, broken into four sub-boards by class. Each board works throughout the year to plan events, activities, trips, and study breaks for its respective class. Some examples of past events include Apple Picking, Cuisine on College Hill, Ice Skating, and Dave & Busters Night.  

CCB General Body: Undergraduate Wide Events 

Together, all four boards make up the general body of Class Coordinating Board (CCB). As a general body, we work together to put on large-scale events to promote a greater sense of belonging and community for the entire undergraduate community.  These events include A Night on College Hill (ANOCH), Gala, Gigs on the Grass, Treat Yourself Week, and Breakfast at Midnight.
