November marks the start of the Student Fee Allocation Process for the Student Representative Council which will be making some important decisions.
Clubs, organizations and programs attended Wednesday's SRC meeting to justify their needs of funding.
"One of my big theories, and research has shown, that the more students are involved, the more they are going to learn," said Heather Birmingham, intern coordinator for the University Program Council and Greek Life.
Most concerns students have about their student fees can be answered at the SFAP budget reviews. During this time, representatives or program directors review what their funding was used for the prior year. In Wednesday's meeting, the 2006-07 school year was discussed for the cultural centers, SRC and Student Activities.
The cultural centers discussed the value of their programs and events, focusing on recruitment, retention and cultural programming concerning diversity.
"For all the cultural centers, we have a three pronged mission," said Rene Oya, director of the Asian Pacific American Students Services. "A small piece of that has always been recruiting, which loosely translates into ways that we can support the admissions office and in the efforts in what they are doing."
An important recruitment program used by A/PASS is the lanyard program. A/PASS works with a company that produces lanyards and then sends them, along with brochures, to every Asian Pacific student who is accepted to the University of Northern Colorado. According to Oya, this is a way to encourage students to come to UNC.
SRC also gave a presentation.
"Each position represents some area of student concern and/or interest relevant to students," SRC President Rico Wint said.
Along with representing the concerns and interests of students, SRC hosts events such as the blood drives, Off Campus Housing Fair, Town Hall Meetings and fund student conference grants.
A majority of the events students attend are done through the Student Activities.
"We've impacted over 45,000 almost 46,000 students coming to the events in the 06-07 year," said Sherri Moser, associate director of Student Activities.
Some of these events included presentations, celebrations and guest speakers from the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transexual Center.
National Coming Out Day, World AIDS Day, National Day of Silence and various panels are just some of the events GLBT hosted.
"Panels are designed to show that we're here and if people are coming to college, they are probably going to have a GLBT friend, roommate, teacher and it is best for them to have that kind of exposure (from the panel)," Jordan Callier graduate assistant in the GLBT front office said.
