Evidence One
Student Government Budget
In my role as the Coordinator of Student Life, I oversee the student government budget of $50,000.00. Student government does not receive any funding from the district. Their income is from the bookstore, vending machines, selling ID cards and fundraising. Through out the school year, I work closely with the elected student chief financial officer. Together we itemize, balance and transfer funds. I let her processing payments and present budget reports. Click here to review the current budget: Student Government Budget
Evidence Two
Student Activities Budget and Unit Goals
Along with the student government budget, I oversee the student activities budget of $1500. The student activities budget is funded through district funds and is required to have unit goals. Click here to review my unit goals for 2008-2009 school year: Student Activities Budget and Unit Goals
Evidence Three
Proposal for Student Ambassador Program at NVC
During the CSA 553 Administration in College Student Affairs course, I was asked to develop a leadership portfolio. One part of the portfolio was to demonstrate competence in developing and funding a budget proposal and job description. For the assignment, I created the budget proposal and job description for 5 Student Ambassador positions. I am excited to share that I was able to present my course assignment to the Outreach Committee. Thanks to my efforts, the committee has considered to funding 2 out of 5 positions immediately.
