The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences currently has 3,298 students enrolled and hopes to showcase its college and attract more students.

The college has received $7,400 in donations this year from outside sources and has already spent most of this money on various projects. They asked for money to help fund their Ag week. The main issue is getting money for the outdoor tents in case of any unpleasant weather.

The tents will cost $1,012.15 per day and the College of Agriculture is hoping to receive three days worth of money to fund the tents.

Finance director Anthony Maly, senior in political science, discussed the funding for Ag week and has stressed again that they need to be careful when being asked for certain amounts of funding because, as of now, there is only about $5,000 dollars available in the events account and they do not know if they will receive any more money. The College of Ag is the first group to ask for funds and more groups may ask for funding later on.

The Government of the Student Body decided to give the College of Ag $2,184 dollars to help fund Ag Week.
