Student Senate Releases Its Budget

Student Senate recently completed its budget for the academic year. Operating out of a nearly sixty thousand dollar account, the funds are mostly going towards financing student clubs, activities, and publications.

While many already existing clubs have been funded for another year, there are also five new clubs this year: ballroom dancing, for those wishing to live out their Pride and Prejudice fantasy; Be the Voice, which focuses on raising awareness of global slavery; Best Buddies, which partners students with the intellectually disabled; PERKSA, who are building an outdoor ice hockey rink; and Pro Magic, a social card game. Student Senate Vice President of Student Affairs Jan Korevaar says that he is “excited about the new initiatives that some of the clubs are starting” and that he is “pleased with the diversity of clubs at Redeemer.” The clubs are nicely balanced between increasing the quality of community at Redeemer, and creating opportunities for student mission involvement on both the local and global level.

The entire budget has been posted on the Student Senate Bulletin board, and there are club pamphlets outside of the Student Senate Office. If you have any ideas for new student clubs, Student Senate would love to hear them. Senate also encourages your participation in the clubs as it is a wonderful opportunity to get involved.
