Student Assembly representatives approved a budget request of $4,921 from the Architecture Club to fund a regional architecture conference to be held in the college. Assembly members decide to allocate the funds for club despite the recommendation of the finance committee. The committee had recommended to give $1000 for the conference.
KSC junior and member of Assembly Sean Ballard said Assembly should approve the budget request “because the conference is a great idea and an event that brings a good reputation for the college [KSC].”
The Architecture club will be hosting the conference from Thursday, Oct. 10, to Sunday, Oct. 13. Students from over 50 colleges in the Northeast will attend the conference, according to a news story in the KSC website. The Architecture Department of the college will contribute with $1,300 to fund this event.
The assembly also approved a budget request of $4,454.40 for the Ski and Snowboard Club. The Club has had up to 100 members in previous years. The president of the club said the club expects to have “up to 200 members this year.”
A bugdet of $356 was unanimously approved to the Advocates for Heatly Communities Club.
