The CPB encourages student involvement and the social development of the student body through music, speakers, films, and other forms of entertainment.
“Students, alumni and community members are welcome to take part in the variety clubs, organization and events. Everyone can help plan student activities and join the meeting on 2nd and 4th Tuesday or Thursday of each month in SC 278,” said Cory Rahn, an Astronomy Club and an Engineering and physics Club member. Rahn added that, "In every meeting, everyone will discuss  activities for students. The student activities designed to supplement students’ courses. There are Academic clubs, civic and social clubs and organizations, and other student activities, which are offered for optional credit, available. At the student Activities area, students can sit, relax, have fun, or meet friends. Everyone doesn’t need to sign in, but they need to show their student IDs for some games."

Valerie Lis, the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Club member,  said that, "The CAM club is very brand new for ARCC students on Coon Rapids and Cambridge Campus. Students are showing interest in the Club because we promoted the use of CAM Therapy. Many Americans used CAM in pursuit of health and well-being, so some technique will help students  stress less outside their classrooms.”


“I enjoy Billiards and game events, and I come here every day,” said Yeleng Lo, a Physical Therapist Assistant student.
