Office of Student Affairs gives $5,000 to Arts Committee

By Victor Andrei | October 1, 2003

Student Council efforts to lobby for the creation of an "art fund" for student-run projects have met with success, netting a $5,000 grant from the University. Council's Student Arts Committee spearheaded the initiative, which aims to increase opportunities for students to advance their interests in the arts. Vice President for Student Affairs Pat Lampkin, whose office provided the funds, spoke enthusiastically about the art fund, which she said will support student arts in the community. "It's an avenue for our students to bring the arts into the student community," she said. The Student Arts Committee is the only Council committee receiving money from the Vice President for Student Affairs office at present, according to Lampkin. The Committee will manage the funds and allocate them for student art projects outside of the classroom which otherwise would remain unfunded, Student Arts Committee Chair Rebecca Menges said. Proposals for "new and emerging work" in the arts, whether in film, music, dance, drama, studio art, architecture and design, creative writing or poetry, will be presented to the Committee for approval.

By Corinne Shamy | September 29, 2003

A potential for $4,000 in academic scholarships is not something that would normally slip under the radar of college students. But the relatively unknown Greek Endowment Scholarship could alleviate a large sum of tuition for a wide pool of eligible applicants. The Inter-Fraternity and Inter-Sorority Councils are increasing publicity for two $2,000 scholarships awarded annually to one eligible IFC Greek male and one ISC Greek female. IFC Alumni Relations Chair Alex Berrang said that, although the scholarship has been around for over a decade, it has not gotten as much publicity has they would have liked. "This is a substantial amount of money that we are offering," Berrang said.
