ABAC’s Campus Activities Board (CAB) plans and administers recreational, social, cultural, and educational activities for students. Any student can become a member of CAB. We highly encourage ABAC students to participate in campus events, provide feedback, and get involved in the process of making Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College a more student-centered campus. Tifton or Bainbridge locations both have a Campus Activities Board. Executive Board members are a premier group of select students at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Those selected will serve as Executive Board members throughout the academic year and assist in coordinating and executing Campus Activities Board events in conjunction with the Assistant Dean of Students, other Executive Board members, and the ABAC student body. This unique opportunity allows students the honor of representing the college, as well as serving as a voice for their fellow classmates. The objective for members of the Executive Board is to act as a liaison between students and administration. It is the responsibility of each Executive Board member to ensure that ABAC students are engaged in a meaningful, balanced, and entertaining college activities experience.

Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society is a society for students, particularly for undergraduates. It seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in this field of learning by reserving its regular membership for those who achieve superior academic records and who indicate special aptitude for and major interest in the life sciences. It desires to cultivate intellectual interest in the natural sciences and to promote a better appreciation of the value of biological study and thus welcomes into associate membership all those students who are interested in biology. Beta Beta Beta also endeavors to extend the boundaries of man’s knowledge of nature by encouraging new discoveries through scientific investigation and to this end encourages undergraduate students to begin research work and report their findings in the journal of the society, BIOS. It emphasizes, therefore, a three-fold program: stimulation of scholarship, dissemination of scientific knowledge, and promotion of biological research.
