Leadership Opportunities
Plumb Bob is an honorary leadership society in charge of planning, organizing, and running CSE Week. As a group, we meet weekly during both the Fall and Spring semesters. Plumb Bob recruits new members at the beginning of each school year, but feel free to contact us at any point in the year if you have ideas for CSE Week.
Feel free to send an email to join our mailing list and get informed of future meeting times! [email protected]
CSE Week
Taking place during the spring semester, CSE Week is a week full of events aimed to promote CSE, its student groups, and its sponsors. This week-long celebration of the college is a long-standing tradition that has been happening for over 100 years. Daily barbecues are hosted by Plumb Bob and adjoining student groups, with sponsors putting on their own events as well! Many student groups take this opportunity to celebrate their year's success by hosting events that showcase their work. Other Plumb Bob hosted events include movie nights, game nights, and philanthropic events!
