Committee forwards club requests to full board; writing club seeks $200

During the Dec. 2 co-curricular meeting, committee members discussed an above-average number of new club proposals and the common challenge of students finding advisors.

Several participants said the number of proposals varies year to year but that student motivation is high. "Kids with passion will start something," one participant said, while others cautioned some clubs later dissolve when founding students leave. The committee noted overlap with existing clubs but expressed support for new initiatives when a responsible advisor can be identified.

Committee members clarified that only one club submitted a budget request: the writing club asked for $200. After discussion, a committee member moved to forward all club requests to the full board's consent agenda for Monday; the motion was seconded and the committee voted 'Aye.' Speaker 1 closed the procedural item noting the items would appear on the larger agenda.

No final funding decisions were made at the committee level; the requests will be considered by the full board at its upcoming meeting.
