With only a month left in the 2012-2013 academic year, it might seem that event after event is being thrown by different student organizations. Event sponsors go through a series of offices to get everything they need in order for the day of the event — sponsors must reserve a space, supplies, equipment TAs, make playlists and buy food and decorations. While events may be funded out of several different on-campus resources, including Student Affairs, the Council for Academic Affairs (CAA) and the Student Allocations Committee (SAC), the SAC provides the most accessible and most frequent funding for student events.
The committee began this academic year with a budget of $75,000 and, as of Apr. 29, was believed to have only about $600 remaining after some budget confusion.
