COLA to select 2006 MSE chairs
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 the selection of 2006 chairs for the Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium.
- The News-Letter reported that COLA was accepting applications and would weigh leadership experience, proposal strength, fundraising plans, speaker recruitment and publicity.
- The paper reported that Neil Shenai called a clear funding plan important, while William Ares said current co-chairs would advise on proposals but would not vote.
- The article says the new chairs would need to raise funds beyond nearly $40,000 in COLA seed money; Ares urged applicants to bring new fundraising ideas.
- According to the article, a change in SAC co-sponsorship rules reduced available funding by about $1,000 per event, or $6,000 that year.
- The reporter writes that co-chair Emilie Adams said fundraising had been a weakness but had not caused the speaker choices, which followed many original plans.
- The article states that applications were due Dec. 5 and interviews were scheduled to begin Dec. 12.
