Event to encourage club enrollment
This year, HURD can be followed on Facebook and all those who pay the $20 fee to join will receive a free t-shirt, said Alex Putnam, Athletics Vice President, during Tuesday’s ASUSU executive council meeting.
Putnam said ” I can already feel the excitement of Aggie athletics” and spoke of all the new elements of Aggie athletics to anticipate this football season.
Putnam spoke about HURD involvement and upcoming games including the September
11 game against Idaho State.
“We are pumped up about Aggie Football,” Putnam said.
After council updates concluded, Tolson welcomed Linda Zimmerman the new
interim director of student involvement and leadership center and current spirit squad advisor to the meeting.
Skyler Jenks, business senator, opened up outside requests by pitching his own request for funding and support from ASUSU for business week.
Jenks informed the council of the events that the business school wants to hold including a musical concert by Kalai, an annual golf tournament, the Huntsman Hometown Race Series and more. Jenks said some events held will not include a cover charge but will ask for donations for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
“We want to give back to the Huntsmans for all they have given us at USU” Jenks said.
Jenks then requested that the remaining $3,000 be provided by the Capital and Support Fund.
So far, ASUSU has left the proposal to pend until further notice.
Wrapping up the meeting was Diversity, Clubs and Organizations Vice President, Kaho Fiefa. Fiefa spoke of possible changes that he would like to make. Fiefa wants to improve club organization by having active club presidents report to their college senators. According to Fiefa this would make monthly meetings more effective because currently only 20 to 25 percent of club presidents currently attend meetings.
Other changes Fiefa brought up was the “Go Clubbing” event to be held this year which will encourage students to get involved in a variety of clubs and overall club organization. Fiefa wants to find out which clubs are currently active, but most importantly, sort out club funding and how it is being utilized in the 100 student-run clubs USU sponsors.
The funding designated to the International Student Council (ISC) is $8,000 and $9,000 will go to Multicultural Student Services (MSS). To ensure clubs get what they need and no funds are wasted, Fiefa wants clubs to make a bid for necessary funds.
