Cohen and Greenfield are widely recognized for creating a financially successful company (Ben and Jerry's) that was built on a foundation of social responsibility. What started as an ice cream parlor in 1977, developed into an internationally known brand and company that is recognized as a leader in sustainable dairy farming, alternate energy use, waste reduction and recycling.
The mission of the Cultural Events Board is to provide opportunities and events which help students enrich their educational experience and expand their understanding of culture, diversity and social awareness. .
