The budget and allocations committee delegated on three travel requests.

UNF Potters Guild to visit conference

The UNF Potters Guild requested $2269.64 to bring nine members to the National Council on Education for Ceramic Arts Conference in Houston, TX. Kaity Asimos, Potters Guild president, said, “It is like the Super Bowl of ceramics.” The group hopes to learn new techniques for making ceramics, so they can teach other UNF art students. Senators amended the request to $2218.50 to reflect a deal Student Government worked out with a car rental agency. The finances were awarded to the UNF Potters Guild in a 7-2 vote.
