CBS Circles
Join a CBS Circle to help you transcend the checklist mentality and make the most of your remaining time in CBS by doing something that matters to you. 

Students work on a project in a group

The CBS Circles program is a professional development opportunity for CBS juniors, seniors, and transfer students. Circles are small groups of students who meet regularly to learn, develop, and connect with one another around a specific topic or goal. Each Circle has a paid facilitator, called a Circle Guide, who initiates the idea for the topic or goal of that Circle.

 

Apply to create and facilitate a Circle as a paid CBS Circle Guide in Fall 2022. Deadline: Sunday, September 18 at 11:59pm.
