All proposal distribution, management, and presentations will be handled through Department, School, or Division student representatives. The Office of the Dean of the College of Fine Arts is responsible for keeping records and making transfers of received ASUU funds as required.

Responsibilities of the student representatives on the fine arts fee committee
Distribute applications to interested student groups. Be well versed in the application process and know deadlines in order to answer questions and assist student groups in the application process.
Electronic copies of each proposal will be sent to each student representative. Review funding proposals prior to the Fine Arts Fee Committee meeting which is set for Thursday Oct. 8, 2009, in the David Gardner Hall Rm 342 3:00-5:00 p.m. and anticipate questions that the committee might have on proposals from your department as you prepare your presentations.
Read all proposals carefully and make a preliminary prioritization before the Oct. 8th meeting.
Present funding proposals to the Fine Arts Fee Committee at the meeting. If the regular department student representative cannot be in attendance at the meeting, another student can be designated to stand in and present the proposals. In the absence of any student representation from the department, the proposals from that department will not be considered for funding.
Responsibilities of the faculty representatives on the fine arts fee committee
Receive and review proposals for funding.
Read proposals carefully; make a preliminary prioritization before the meeting but remain open-minded.
More Information
Funding activities with a long-term development component makes economic sense as the participants and audiences of today will be the donors of tomorrow. Paying attention to this fact will strengthen art funding in the future.
A project does not need to take place or be completed during the semester in which it is funded but does need to take place and be completed during the academic year it is funded.
The committee can carry over any unused funds from year to year.
Student groups that receive funding for their proposals must have a final report turned in to the Deans office 2 weeks after the project is completed.
