Reimagining Student Funding
A New Framework for Funding
A Mandate for Change
As chair of the Club Council, I led the body responsible for recognizing, funding, and supporting more than 150 student organizations. The existing processes were opaque and inefficient, creating barriers for student leaders. My primary goal was to engineer a complete overhaul of the budgeting and funding systems—making them more transparent, equitable, and accessible for every club on campus.
Advocacy and Empowerment
Club Council serves as the central nervous system for student life. Our mission was to transform the council from a gatekeeper into a powerful advocate and resource for all student leaders.
Key Achievements
I implemented a series of systemic changes to create a fair and efficient funding ecosystem.
Student-Led Budget Hearings
I instituted a transparent, semesterly budget hearing process that gave student leaders a direct voice in financial allocation and ensured equitable distribution of funds.
Streamlined Funding and Reallocation
I designed and implemented a simplified digital process for funding requests and reallocations, reducing turnaround times and administrative burden for clubs.
Fair and Impartial Governance
I championed a culture of fairness and impartiality in all council decisions, ensuring policies were applied consistently and that all organizations had an equal opportunity to thrive.
Strengthened Campus Partnerships
I acted as the primary liaison to the Diplomatic Congress and the Office of Student Engagement & Leadership, fostering collaboration and unifying advocacy efforts.
