Culturefest, security addressed at Student Council meeting
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 Student Council meeting about security, funding, Culturefest and student events.
