Looking for more ways to have fun, meet people, and make your mark on campus?

From themed programs and giveaways to free food, prizes, and one-of-a-kind experiences, CAB keeps campus life exciting all year long.
CAB hosts events at least once a month, and every event is free and open to all Lindenwood students. Check out upcoming events and open CAB Committee meetings on Mane Connection.
Want to help decide what happens next? Join the CAB Committee! Open to all students, the committee meets every other week to share ideas, provide feedback, shape future events, and build community. Committee members also have the opportunity to plan at least one event each semester with a dedicated budget, giving you hands-on experience bringing ideas from concept to campus.
Have an idea for an event? Bring it to CAB. You might just be the reason the next great campus tradition happens.
New semester, new adventures, and a whole week to find your place at Lindenwood! Week of Welcome (WOW) kicks off the semester with events and experiences designed to help Lions connect, get involved, and make the most of campus life. Whether you’re new to Lindenwood, transferring in, or returning for another year, there’s something waiting for you.
From Involvapalooza—our annual student organization fair—to Bingo, movie nights, beach BBQs, and more, WOW is packed with opportunities to meet people and jump into the Lindenwood experience.
And the fun doesn’t stop with CAB. Departments and campus partners across Lindenwood bring their own events and activities to the WOW lineup, making it a true campus-wide celebration. Keep an eye out for the full WOW schedule and find your next way to get involved!
Welcome Back Week brings that same energy to campus when we kick off the spring semester. After winter break, it’s your chance to reconnect, get involved, and jump back into campus life.
Brighten someone’s day—or treat yourself! Floral Friday is a beloved CAB tradition that gives Lions the chance to create their own mini bouquet using fresh flowers from a local florist. Pick your favorites, design your own floral wrapping, and create a bouquet that’s uniquely yours.
Want to make your bouquet a little bigger? Bring your own vase and get an extra flower! Whether you’re making one for yourself, surprising a friend, or simply stopping by for a little Friday joy, Floral Friday is a sweet way to bring a little more color to campus.
The semester is winding down, and it’s time to celebrate! Spring Fling Week brings Lions together for a full week of fun, connection, and campus energy as we head into the final stretch of the spring semester. From food trucks and movie nights to comedians, activities, and special events, there’s something for everyone.
The week culminates with Linden-Woodstock, our outdoor student music festival and a growing Lindenwood tradition. Grab your friends, enjoy live performances from student bands, snag some free food and festival giveaways, and soak up the spring weather. You might even walk away with tickets to your next big concert!
One week. Plenty of ways to celebrate. One unforgettable way to close out the semester.
