Our goal is to help you make the most of your time on campus and immerse yourself in the full college experience.
Lope Life

The Canyon Activities Board (CAB) plans most of the events and activities throughout the year to help you get involved, make new friends and get to know the GCU campus community. We are focused on one thing - we turn students into Lopes for life!
