THE PURPOSE OF GOOD TIMES PROGRAMMING
As an organization we serve students by providing social, cultural, recreational, and educational activities. We also support other departments and organizations through Partners in Programming, by helping to determine and respond to students entertainment needs. We respond by providing our programming experience and help other organizations and departments achieve their programming goals. Good Times Programming helps students achieve their full potential by providing ongoing opportunities for members to develop leadership, teamwork, and organizational skills.

The Good Times Programming Values:
1) People…Our team members are the strength of our organization. They bring creativity and new ideas to the organization, along with a strong desire to learn about programming.

2) Teamwork…Providing entertainment for the campus not only requires teamwork between the executive members and our team members, but also with other University departments and the Student Government Association.

3) Quality…We are committed to continuous improvement throughout our organization and to an environment that supports innovative, creativity, and experimentation.

4) Diversity…We are committed not only to the diversity of the performers that are on campus, but also diversity in the types of programs that are offered.
