COMMITTEES

  • Street Team is A&O’s committee exclusively for first-year students. While on Street Team, new members have the opportunity to shadow three different A&O committees to help determine what they are most interested in joining the following year. Additionally, Street Team members take part in internal event planning and promotional activities for A&O’s concerts, speakers, and films.

  • Concerts Committee is responsible for working with agencies and artist management to secure performers for at least four concerts throughout the year, including Blowout (fall), Benefit (winter), and Ball and Philfest (spring). The committee welcomes (and encourages!) a diverse range of genre interests to help ensure that the committee is as representative of the general Northwestern student body as possible. 

  • Speakers Committee handles booking for A&O’s speaker events. They work with agencies to bring entertaining and informative speakers for three events throughout the year. The committee welcomes (and encourages!) a diverse range of speaker interests to help ensure that the committee is as representative of the general Northwestern student body as possible.
