Student Orgs and Money

Friday, February 29, 2008

I've just finished contacting a large number of student organizations who turned in budgets but didn't receive a whole lot of their requests in order to remind them that can and should apply for SGA funds by Additional Allocation. Emails went out to the President and Treasurer of all those clubs as listed in their Initial Budget Requests. So my conclusion is if you're a student organization and you have an event that you would like to see happen and need money for it, come ask for it. This is especially true for organizations that haven't receive any money or even very little this year from the SGA. If your president and treasurer didn't get an email from me, but you still want funding for more events please still do apply.

On the subject of Student Organizations and money, it has occurred to me that we are in danger of facing a situation where the fiscal year will end (June 30th) and a lot of funds that were given out for events will come back to the SGA. Some organizations have been contacted by my staff in order for us (the SGA) to try and help you spend your money and make these events happen. If your organization has received a lot of money and is facing difficulty with planning or executing an event please contact me and either I will help you or I will get someone to help you. If you have money left over from events that were less expensive or that didn't happen, reallocate those funds to something else. Let's see this year end with a bang and increase the number of happenings on campus from student orgs.
