Every academic year, LSBA is known to hosting countless of events, but out of all them, the following are considered recurring annual events, some of which are fundraisers:
⚫ LSBA Winter Retreat – December or January
⚫ LSBA Rose Sale – February
⚫ LSBA End-of-the-year Banquet – May
⚫ LSBA Corporate Mixer – Spring semester
⚫ LSBA Summer Retreat – August
⚫ LSBA Redemption – October (a collaboration with UCI and/or CSUN)
⚫ LSBA Soccer Tournament – Fall, Spring, or both semesters
All events listed serve as a way for members to further engage within the organization. All funds raised go back towards LSBA for future events, merch, and for scholarships that are awarded at the end of the year,
LSBA’s Corporate Mixer serves as a professional event where LSBA can bring its members a diverse panel of professionals from different industries and extensive backgrounds.
Our members have the opportunity to network and expand their knowledge with these professionals in hopes of learning something new, potentially landing an internship or full time position, and much more.
After the academic year has ended, LSBA hosts their Summer retreat. The retreat is always from a Friday to Sunday morning, and common cities include Palm Springs, La Quinta, Cathedral City, and Joshua Tree.
The purpose of the summer retreat is so that all our members (current, future, and alumni) can get to know each other better and form that familia bond. For the new members that heard of LSBA during the summer, this retreats serves as a great introduction to what LSBA has to offer.
During Saturday morning, all directors, members, and alumni gather for a two-hour session to brainstorm ideas and events for the following academic year, but more specifically, the Fall semester.
The rest of the the time is for fun!
At the end of every academic year, LSBA hosts their Awards Banquet. It’s where all the magic comes together ✨
This banquet serves as the time for LSBA to recognize all the hard work that was done for the academic year. We also take this opportunity to thank our sponsors who have helped us to achieve our goals.
Not only is the banquet meant for our members, but also for our members’ family and friends. We use this time to show our members’ support system what LSBA is and what their child/family member/friend/significant other was involved in while at CSUDH.
Most notable during the banquet is when LSBA awards the recipients for the LSBA Scholarships that LSBA fundraises for all year long. These scholarships are given out to those members and directors who truly went above and beyond for LSBA.
The LSBA Alumni Association also takes the time to award their LSBA Scholarship recipients.
Finally, we congratulate all directors, executive board members, general members, and alumni for their support and dedication, say our bittersweet goodbyes to our graduating seniors, and give a warm welcome to our next executive board and directors.
LSBA hosts their winter retreat at the end of the Fall semester, typically in December or January.
Similar to the summer retreat, it is also from a Friday to Sunday with Saturday morning being the brainstorming sessions for events and ideas for the upcoming Spring semester.
Common locations are Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, with the intention to get out of the Los Angeles area and experience some snow with a handful of LSBA members and alumni❄
