GPSA Finance Commission Comments

(Current) Events must occur during the academic year, defined for GPSAFC purposes as starting the first day of orientation in August and ending the day of commencement in May, to ensure that the Cornell community has the opportunity to participate.

(Proposed) For events held over the summer, a special summer funding category will be reserved in GPSA account. The application for summer funding has to be submitted before the end of the semester with detailed information on location, time, program descriptions, and financial breakdown.

I would strongly support summer funding, as the Johnson School has a program of full-time students that begins right after Commencement and goes throughout the summer. These students all pay the same activity fee, and should be able to benefit from having activities sponsored during the summer when they are in session.
