[Hardrockerstudentathletes] Student Athletes Vote For GAF Increase

[Kosiba, Cassie M.]

Hello,
The Student Senate Public Relations Committee is encouraging student athletes to vote for an increase in the General Activity Fee (GAF), which would be an additional $1.20 per credit hour. This small increase would have a dramatic impact across campus and would allow the School of Mines to better support all student activities.

GAF funds countless programs on campus, like scheduling, intramurals, the Wellness Center, Student Engagement and Athletics.  An increase can free up funds to give your sport more access to equipment and scholarship opportunities.  The current budget deficit forces the allocation committee to make cuts, and sadly, the first group affected is Student Orgs and CAMP teams funded through SOAP. The Student Senate doesn't want to lower funding to ANY program, that's why this increase is so important!

There will be a ballot sent out to all students on Thursday, January 25th. As a student athlete, it is to your benefit to vote "yes."

A public forum to ask questions and share opinions will be held Wednesday, January 24, from 3-3:30 pm in Lower Surbeck Center, by Grubby's Game room. You are encouraged to attend and spread the word!

Please reach out to your Student Senate, sa.studentaffairs at mines.sdsmt.edu<mailto:sa.studentaffairs at mines.sdsmt.edu>, or to contact student athlete and senator adedokun.alarape at mines.sdsmt.edu<mailto:adedokun.alarape at mines.sdsmt.edu> with any questions,
Thank You,
Will Kuhl
