Campus organizations presented requests to receive Services and Activities Fee funding with several groups factoring in losses caused by COVID-19.
To receive S&A Fee funding, nonacademic student groups must present to a committee with a proposed funding request and plans on allocating the money. The committee discussed in early April and will craft a recommendation to the Board of Regents for where the funds should be distributed.
The Regents will review the proposals in May for approval or rejection of the requests.
For the 2020-21 school year, $9.5 million was allocated for WSU organizations, such as ASWSU, the Children’s Center and University Recreation.
WSU community members are invited to attend the virtual “Reels with All the Feels” film festival, highlighting systemic issues women of all backgrounds face.
The festival celebrates Women’s History Month and includes four films. The WSU Women s Center and Coalition of Women Students run the festival. The first film, “Abortion Helpline, This is Lisa,” was streamed via Zoom March 8 for International Women’s Day.
The film showed what happens behind the scene of an abortion hotline and the role of hotline operators, said Kaitlin Srader, Coalition for Women Students chair.
Srader said the coalition offers programs and workshops around gender and racial justice, as well as inclusivity of marginalized identities, particularly women and women of color.
