Proposals Reviewed
- Cecilia Heydl-Cortinez - Travel support for Madrid, Spain trip during spring break 2005. Requested $300/student up to ten students. Approved: $300/student up to twenty students or $6000. Based on a discussion at the December 2004 committee meeting, it was decided to extend the $300/student to twenty students for the four international trips for 2004/05 pending a year-end review to determine whether it was economically feasible to continue at this level of funding. The concern is spending 25 percent of the available student activity fee on international travel that only covers up to eighty students.
