Senate tables Revive retreat request

Senate tabled a $6,638 request from Revive at the meeting Monday. The request would provide funds for 24 people to attend a Christian profession/personal development retreat. Senators agreed that the request was rather large and would vote on it when more in depth information on the retreat was provided from Revive.  

The $1,800 request from Operation Christmas Child, an event hosted by RLA that provides toys and school supplies to children in need, that was presented to Senate at last Monday’s meeting was approved at this week’s meeting.  

“Any little bit will help I guess. I usually try to fund a lot of it myself or through the church. I know that the students like to do it because they like to give back. We like to hear a lot of good stories of kids getting the gifts too,” Assistant Director of Resident Life Mariah Nelson said at last week’s meeting.
