Bay area college campuses are joining forces to create a network of students and campus organizations that will coordinate, promote, and execute a variety of entertainment events throughout the bay area.
The mission of the Bay Area College Activities Network is to initiate, support, and encourage interaction and cross-collaboration among bay area college campuses and students. Bay Area CAN is a valuable guerilla marketing outlet as campuses participate in grass-roots marketing of events at all eight campuses, potentially reaching nearly 200,000 college students. Our goal is to create entertainment events by students and for students. The following universities are involved in Bay Area CAN:
San José State University
