Student Activities

Looking for something to do on campus? The Office of Student Life + Housing offers a variety of events and programs for you to take advantage of. For example the CIA Activities Board (CAB) hosts activities such as movie nights, improv nights, and drag bingo. If you are into tradition, we have that too! For more than 75 years, CIA students have planned the Student Independent Exhibition (SIE) and no school year since the 1940’s would be complete without the student Halloween event.

Our end-of-the-year event, the Pink Pig, is also something that you will not want to miss.

Looking for a way to build leadership skills? The Office of Student Life + Housing offers students opportunities to develop leadership through involvement in clubs and organizations, participation in the emerging leaders program, and serving the greater Cleveland community. In fact, you could end up with one of the coveted Gnomes of Leadership for your efforts in this area!

Please see the Student Life + Housing Office for all the offerings.
