The General Studies Student Council held its first meeting of the semester last night. Michelle Inaba Mocarski has all the details on the council's budget and increased enrollment in the School of General Studies:
The meeting opened with a moment of silence for those who died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2011, eleven years ago yesterday. The tone got lighter after that, though, with baked goods and an ice-breaking game of "Would you rather...?"
GSSC rolled out its budget for this academic year, which is much smaller than last year's budget because this year GSSC has only $277 in rollover funds. Two years ago, the GS dean of students' office told GSSC that it had access to $30,000 in surplus funds that the council hadn't known about, but the council has used up those funds over the last two years.
