Written by Braden Steinman.

The Muskingum Programming Board (MBP) held a tie-blanket event for students to enjoy. 

The programming board organizes events every month for Muskingum students. Their tie-blanket event is one of their favorites, as stated on the board’s Instagram post advertising the event. 

“It’s a really simple and effective event,” said Sam Delik, a member of the programming board. “Who doesn’t want to make their own blanket?” 

Muskingum programming board is linked with the Student Senate as the primary student programming body on campus. Consisting entirely of students, the programming board plans and implements a wide variety of events and activities for the entire campus community.

The executive board of the programming body coordinates events that take place every Friday and Saturday during the semesters, like the tie-blanket event. 

“It’s trying to think about, ‘what do people want to do?’” Sam Delik said. 

Muskingum programming board tries to have two open positions available each Fall for students to apply and join the board. Their goal, besides providing events and volunteers for campus activities, is to help students grow their skills in leadership, decision-making, negotiation, event planning, production, marketing, and more.  

The programming board has a hand in many notable campus events, like Muskie-Palooza, the Boat Regatta, Caketacular, and more.  

To learn more about the Muskingum programming board, more information can be found on the official Muskingum website.  

The board regularly updates their event calendar on the Involve app as well, students wishing to get more involved with campus life can stay up to date on the app and explore more about what the board has to offer.
