EFFICIENT GENEROSITY

On our first triumvirate meeting in the lobby of the Old Library, multiple concerns surfaced but this in particular caught us - the red tape of the extra-curricular funding. This is by far the top concern we could address. Ever since, the extra-co orgs do not have a single stop funding process. They have to “machine gun” sponsorship letters to so many offices costing time, money and effort. For us to effectively stimulate student activities, we need to cut the funding red tape.


For this summer, we aim to collect data regarding this matter. With the joint efforts of the SacDev Coordinator, we hope to create a sound funding system design that we could confidently recommend to the Office of Student Affairs. The basic ideas for this mission is to give extra-curricular a “starting capital” for their operational needs, create a single Extra-Curricular funding managed by SacDev (appropriate a portion of the PTA fund directly to SacDev control), and a monitoring and transparency system for the extra-curricular orgs' liquidations.

God bless our thoughts, heart and actions!
