Programs, Services & Funded Areas
Every spring, Associated Students receives applications from campus partners for funding that supports the student experience at Cal Poly Humboldt. The A.S. Board of Directors deliberates extensively, considering how each potential funding recipient plans to use the funds before ultimately setting the budget for the following academic year. Below is a list of some of these areas, and a brief description of their purpose and activities.
How we define our A.S. - Funded Areas
- A.S. Government - Part of or support to the function of the student government
- A.S. Core Programs - These impressive programs (and their amazing employees) fully embody the A.S. mission and receive the entirety of their funding from Associated Students. They are staffed and led exclusively by student workers.
- A.S. Funded Areas - These are campus departments who receive funding from A.S. for supplies, services, and student wages.
A.S. Government
These areas of funding are crucial to the operations of the Student Government. Our motto is Educate, Allocate, Advocate - this is how we make it happen!
Educate
A.S. Government
Your A.S. government strives to identify and meet the educational, social, cultural, and recreational needs of the student body. Funding this area supports the ongoing A.S. commitment to EDUCATE the student body about campus structure, events, and the decisions being made that affect the student experience.
Allocate
A.S. Grant Opportunities
The A.S. Board of Directors sets the budget for the following academic year each spring, but it can be very difficult to predict the ongoing needs of the student population so far in advance. To partially accommodate future needs, A.S. sets aside money for grant opportunities. This is one way in which A.S. ALLOCATES funds to support student success.
Advocate
A.S. External Affairs
Sometimes, student needs can't be met by educating the student population or providing funding. When A.S. identifies unmet student needs we can't solve alone, we take action to ADVOCATE on behalf of the Cal Poly Humboldt student population. There are many avenues A.S. Board members can use to bring student needs to light.
Programs
These amazing programs receive all of their funding from Associated Students, and act as an extension of the A.S. Board of Directors - they work to provide much-needed services to enhance the student life at Cal Poly Humboldt.
