SAB is comprised of six committees that each play a unique roll in bringing entertainment to campus.
Becca Conover
SAB is also home to the best advisor on campus.
It is an awesome community to be a part of and Becca continues to work to make sure the campus provides more inclusive spaces and unique opportunities for all students. As the Program Advisor for Campus Activities, Becca advises SAB, FAC, Homecoming Committee, and serves as the direct supervisor for the Organization Development Committee and Student Engagement team in the U & I. This is her second year with us, officially and she’s already shown extreme dedication and conviction to the board and all of Truman.

- Abby is a junior English, pre-MAE major and psychology and education minor from Washington, Missouri. She joined the board in fall of 2022 and her favorite event was Pitch Perfect because it is her favorite movie and the first event she planned.

Sophia joined SAB in Fall 2023, and their favorite event was Spring Comedian 2024 w/ Gianmarco Soresi. After college, they plan to win capitalism thanks to the enormous debt accrued by attending medical school to become a PM&R physician.
