Below are some answers to common questions about the board. If you do not see your questions below, feel free to send us an email and we will happy to assist you!
The Distinguished Speakers Board is completely student run. Each semester we undergo a speaker nomination and selection process, starting with a large field of candidates and eventually narrowing down to one speaker. The day-of-event logistics, marketing and general operation of the board is also overseen by students.
The Distinguished Speakers Board is funded through ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä student government which allocates student fees dollars to various clubs and organizations on campus. Since students pay for the events and the speakers we work hard to ensure that events are curated by students and for students.
The number of events that we host a semester depends on a variety of factors such as cost of the speaker, interest of the board and logistics. We aim to have at least one event a semester and occasionally are able to host more than that.
In order to join the Distinguished Speakers Board you must be a fee-paying student at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder. We typically recruit new members at the begininng of each semester. Follow our page to recieve updates on when recruitment is occuring.
