The Student Advocacy Dept. is currently working on advocating for a student activities fee increase. Please review and provide feedback over the following statement:
An increased Student Activities Fee will be extremely beneficial to the UMBC student body by providing more funding for SGA sponsored events, SEB events, and student organizations. These include T-Payne, Homecoming and its assorted events, Pre-game Tailgates, Ecofest, and the Stress-Free Zone .
The fee will also aid in increasing services to students such as library DVDs, Leadershape and Readership Programs, Prove It!, and many more
This fee, unlike all others, has not increased in the past 5 years and is becoming more limited each year with rising costs and inflation.
Here's some groovy links to find out more about this issue:
