UP is the official student programming board of the University of Alabama. University Programs plans, promotes, and produces many of the concerts, films, performing arts, and lectures that take place on the University of Alabama campus. Any UA student is encouraged to join a UP committee. An interview process selects student directors for a one-year term. Fill out the online commitee application .
Involvement is left up to each individual committee member.
There is no minimum. Each committee generally meets twice a month in addition to being involved in several shows a semester. Some committee members only come to the meetings while others are in the office daily. It depends on the type of show, but possibly everything from preparing the venue, providing security, and taking tickets to setting up the stage and working the hospitality areas. Applications for student director positions are normally accepted during December and January.
