The SMC works closely with the Member Resources Coordinator (MRC) and VPET to create professional and well-attended events. Under the direction of the MRS, the SMC trains and provides on-going support to Social Managers throughout the semester.
The Programs Board is responsible for planning and executing BSC-wide programming in order to promote member education and engagement across the cooperative.
