Senate mulls over potential You@CSC website funding

At Student Senate’s Monday meeting, Student Activities Coordinator Megan Northrup presented an $8,500 funding request proposal to update CSC’s You@CSC website.

Northrup said student affairs and the office of academic success initially funded the site, which launched in April 2019, before the CSC strategic enrollment management plan funded it last school year. 

“We’re looking at different people for funding, and you guys were our first thought to see if this is something that the students want, and that you guys stand behind and think is important to have,” Northrup said to Senate in its Zoom meeting. Northrup said the money would pay the website’s creator for continued free student and staff use of the site. The Senate would consider the proposal before holding an allocation vote for website funding.

Senate allocated $498.13 for its COVID-19 care packages which are given to students in quarantine.  Packages include coloring books, candy, cookies, and puzzles. Last week, 30 care packages were given out to students. 

Edna Senator Laura Clay of the campus improvement committee, said she has been working on beginning a campus recycling initiative. She plans to create a promotional flyer to find people interested in helping promote more recycling campuswide.
