Co-Curricular Programming

Co-curricular programming refers to learning experiences that complement what students are learning in the classroom. These programs serve to strengthen a student’s academic experience as well as support a student’s interpersonal development. The HUB Cultural Center supports co-curricular programming by funding Instructionally Related Activities (IRAs) that enhance and deepen academic knowledge. Students will have opportunities to explore their comprehension of classroom material for optimal engagement and investment in their courses. Our co-curricular programming bridges intellectual knowledge and practical experience, which allows students to have an increased opportunity for success, both in the classroom and the community.

If you would like to collaborate with the HUB Cultural Center on a co-curricular program please identify which outcomes(s) you would like to achieve and complete this form. After you submit the form, we will review your request and contact you about its status based on availability, scheduling, and scope. Once approved the the HUB Manager will share the chart field and approve all expenditures. You and your department will be responsible for all required paperwork (i.e. EREQ/Contracts, room reservations, ordering food, travel forms etc. Requests for IRA funds must be submitted 30 days prior to the date of the program.
