Want to speak your mind about FAME? Have suggestions you think could improve the program? Whether you had a wonderful or horrible experience, we want to hear about it! All you have to do is fill out College Council's FAME Survey that will be on LearnLink within the next week!

It Pays To Work Together

Looking for a new and exciting event for your club to throw? Why not try collaborating with another organization and campus-- and get PAID FOR IT!? In order to encourage co-sponsorship among student-run organizations, College Council is providing monetary incentives in addition to normal supplemental funding for any club that chooses to throw an on-campus event in with another chartered club. The new policy gives 5% of the total amount requested to host the event plus an addition $50.00 for every additional organization that co-sponsors the event thereafter. Don't miss this opportunity to make your club's next event the best of the year! Learnlink College Council Chief of Staff Reema Dedania for more details.
