          • Hours do not need to be consecutive.

          • Maritza: explained that the Campus Center Advisory Board is a vital part of shared governance where important decisions regarding the campus center building are made. These decisions can include matters like creating a mediation prayer room, adjusting hours of operation, and dining options. Student representation in this board is crucial.

    Club Awards

          • Maritza: there is a total allocation for club awards, and it's up to the ICC to decide how funds will be distributed.
          • Fund 41 represents the funds for the current year and does not roll over. These funds cover administrative expenses like brochures, supplies, and food.
          • Club awards have a separate allocation of $6,000 for the entire year. This allocation is distinct from funds for new clubs.
          • Club Day, perfect attendance (quarterly and annually), Club of the Year award, Cultural Day, and new club funds, will continue to receive allocations.
          • Emergency funds are available as a buffer, and there should be some funds left for Cultural Day.
          • Graduation costs need to be considered as well.
          • Can rule out $250 for some clubs, but they need to double-check for five clubs.
          • ICC members are to meet before the first representative meeting to discuss the allocations and inform the clubs about the funding they can expect.
        • No questions from members.
        • Summary: The ICC discussed the allocation of club awards funds, clarified the categories eligible for funding, and emphasized the need to plan for various club expenses and events.
