New student entertainment pass offers discounts on campus events
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a new student pass offering discounts on campus entertainment.
- The News-Letter reported that the Hopkins Entertainment Pass was introduced to help bring major entertainment events back to campus.
- The paper reported that Student Council planned to work with HOP, IFC, Spring Fair and the MSE Symposium, with more than 500 students already signed up for updates.
- The article says Student Council President Manish Gala told students they would receive email updates while a website was being developed.
- The reporter writes that Jeff Groden-Thomas said pass revenue would fund programming, which could lead to more events and student discounts.
- According to the article, the pass cost $30, and sales had raised more than $15,000.
- The article adds that discounts were available for a Rusted Root concert and a possible Ben Folds Five concert, while Gala said event coordinators could plan more accurately because they knew roughly 500 students would attend.
