What we do:
This committee oversees the distribution of a $40,000 budget to various student groups that request funding to plan social, cultural and educational events on campus. We partner with a wide variety of organizations (Greek, religious, residential, academic, athletic, arts, etc.) to help sponsor many of the unique programs that are available for students.
Last year, Campus Council helped make possible a number of exciting events on campus, such as the Latin Chic at the Library, International Food Festival, and Party Central.
Mission Statement:
“The mission of the Campus Council Finance Committee is to use financial resources provided by the student residential fee and allocated to the Finance Committee to subsidize part or all of the costs to Residential Groups, Student Groups, or individuals for event programming focusing on the residential community of Duke University.”
