Co-sponsorship Summary -------------------------- 2006-2007 Co-sponsorship Budget: $14000.00 III. Special Funding Request: -------------------------------------------------- The Events Board is in the process of taking over the funding requests submitted to the GSG as discussed in the previous Assembly meeting. Despite that, there is a request that needs to be decided before the Events Board can meet and thus is included in this email. Request: -------- 1_Organization_Name: (none) 2a_Contact_Person_Name: Kellam Conover 2b_Contact_Email: kconover@ 3_Event_to_be_funded: Bus for graduate students to go to the Princeton/Yale football game 4_Date_of_event: Saturday, November 11, 2006 5a_Expected_Grad_Attendance: 25 5b_Expected_Total_Attendance: 215 6_Requested_Amount: 100 7a_PU_Account: 7b_Approved_GradSchool: No_And_Never 8_All_Grads_and_Advertise_GSG: Yes 9_Event_description: On Saturday, November 11th, the Princeton football team will travel to New Haven, Connecticuit to play Yale for a share of the lead in the Ivy League standings. A Princeton victory would mean a rare double triumph over both Yale and Harvard in the same season, and as a result there would be a huge bonfire on Cannon Green. The last time this celebration occurred was 1995. The University is sending to New Haven at least four coach buses of avid student fans. Given sufficient funding, graduate students will be a part of this exciting event. This opportunity will be advertised to graduate students through a global email. The cost per seat on the bus is 20, and I am hoping/expecting about 25 graduate students will be interested. Our budget, therefore, is at least 500 (more if more graduate students express interest). The Office of the Vice President of Campus Life has promised 300. The Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni is a prospective sponsor, but has not pledged a specific dollar amount at this time. I am asking the GSG for 100 dollars to help cover the costs of the expected 25 graduate students. Thank you for your consideration. Recommendation: Approve for $100 --------------- The increased GSG budget of this year allows us to be generous. The $14,000 of the Co-Sponshorship budget divided by 12 months allows us to spend about $1166/month which is less than the submitted or anticipated requests that both the Assembly and the Events Board are going to consider.
