Board of Programmers

The Board of Programmers (BOP) is a dedicated group of students that is responsible for planning and executing the four large Collins events each school year. The group plans each event from beginning to end, and does everything from decorations, publicity, space reservation, food—you name it!

BOP is made up entirely of student volunteers and meets at a different time each semester. Check the calendar for this semester’s meeting time and stop by a meeting to see what BOP does!

As a product of the late 60s and early 70s, the LLC was founded on the philosophy of empowering students to take charge of their educational experience. In theory this was also the philosophy embraced by other LLCs at the University of Illinois, Michigan, and Michigan State. But unlike our sister programs, the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University was prepared to trust students with curricular matters and treat them as colleagues. The result of this faith in students has been nothing short of spectacular.
