The Student Association has allocated nearly 60 percent more of its funds to student organizations for next fall than in fiscal year 2021 in hopes of in-person activities returning to campus.
SA Sen. Charles Aborisade, U-At-Large and the chair of the finance committee, said the SA allocated more than $430,000 to fulfill student organizations’ funding requests through October, before the organizations will need to submit a second request to receive funding for the spring semester. Student organization leaders said the SA has met most of their allocation requests like Zoom Pro accounts and technical equipment this past year at a time when virtual events have required less funding.

During her last few days on campus last March, then-sophomore Cece Michalowski went on one last monument walk with friends from her theater company.
Michalowski said she walked around the National Mall for three hours with some of her closest friends from 14th Grade Players, most of whom were graduating seniors at the time, and sat together at the backside of the Lincoln Memorial. The next day, she had a picnic under the magnolias and the cherry blossoms at the George Mason Memorial.
