We're a student organization at Shepherd University who makes sure there's fun stuff to do around campus. If there is an event that's got that Program Board logo to the left over there, then we're in charge.
From Late Night to Waffle Day to Shepfest, our goal is to make great events for all students. Our goal is to have at least one event every week.
