SGA Funding Workshop for Student Groups

---

There will be a *mandatory* funding workshop on Monday 3/11 from 7-7:30 pm in JRC 101 for all student group leaders on campus. If you want to receive funding from SGA, you must be at this event or you need to schedule another time to meet with [sga2] and [services]. 

 

At the workshop, we will be helping student orgs set up bookkeeping systems and talking about the proper way to submit budgets and reimbursement requests. It’ll be short and there will be lots of ~snacks~, because we want fiscal responsibility to not suck.

 

Please feel free to hit me up with any questions. See you there!

 

Best,

Amanda Weber

Flu Shot Clinic Oct. 9-10

Check out these flu shot facts and go get yours today or tomorrow! 

1.   If you do get the flu this season, you will be less sick. Getting the flu shot is not a cure-all, but it does reduce your chances of getting the flu by 40-60%. If you do get the flu (and you got the flu shot) you are less likely to get pneumonia or have other complications.

2.   Getting a flu shot is a civic duty. According to the CDC, people who get the flu are contagious for 1 day before showing symptoms and for 7 days after the infection begins.

3.   The flu shot does not cause the flu! The only real side effect for most people is a sore arm. Only 1-2% of people develop a mild fever after getting the flu shot.

SHACS Free flu shot clinic for students. Be there. Bring a friend.

When: This Tuesday and Wednesday 9:00 am – 3:00 pm       

Where: JRC 101
