The Foundation Board’s last meeting was on Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. As per usual, the board voted on whether the applicants should receive funding or not.

There were four requests made at the meeting. The Criminal Justice Club asked for $150 in funding for t-shirts, but the board voted to not provide funding due to it not being a student activity.

Second, the Student Government Association requested $550 for a karaoke and nacho bar night, which the board voted to provide funding for.

The Black Student Union asked for $1,250 for a masquerade ball. The board voted to provide funding, but decided not to grant the full amount.

Lastly, the Inter Greek Council asked for $350 for a karaoke night, which the board voted to fund.

The Foundation Board’s purpose is to support student-run events and programs at Lakeland. Any recognized student groups or groups of eight or more students can apply for funding through the foundation board.
