UVM Program Board (UPB) is a student-led group charged with bringing exciting, dynamic, and diverse campus events and activities to YOU - the UVM student.
Our goal is to provide entertainment that meets the diverse needs of our campus and we've created, hosted, and sponsored a number of awesome events over the years, including: comedian Brittany Broski, SpringFest featuring Peach Pit, Battle of the Bands, Weekly Pub Quiz, and so much more!

FAQs
How is UPB funded?
UPB receives its funding from student fees that are collected as part of the funding for the Davis Center. The funds are designated for programming that meets the diverse needs of the UVM community.
Is UPB a club?
Nope! UVM Program Board (UPB) is a student-led programming organization at the University of Vermont, and is housed under Campus Programs in the Department of Student Life. UPB positions are paid - thus participation in UPB is considered employment.
Who's on UPB?
Folks just like you! UPB is made up of your fellow UVM students - people who are interested and passionate about movies, music, art, comedy, and having fun! All currently and actively enrolled full time undergraduate students are eligible to apply for UPB. More info about how you can get involved is available on our join our team page.
How do I join UPB?
Applications for UPB open once a year, during the first half of the Spring Semester. More information will be provided right here when applications are live!
UVM Program Board and UVM BORED are the same thing, right?
No! Easy mistake to make, but we're two different organizations! UVM Program Board (that's us!) plan, program, and create events - while our friends over at UVM BORED (like, "I'm bored!") just market all the events happening both on- and off-campus. Our events are always on BORED though...
