ASUPS is excited to announce that the Expressions Fund will continue to be available for student projects. The fee was established in 2016 to support students seeking to improve the campus climate as it relates to the inclusivity of student identities, particularly, but not limited to; race, gender identity, sexuality, ability, class. Projects that seek to raise consciousness among the student body, develop allies, and express self-identity are encouraged.
The money comes from the ASUPS student government fee; two dollars from each student’s fee is set aside for the Expressions Fund project fund. The fund is administered in multiple cycles.
The fund should be utilized as a resource for students, either individually or collectively, who have relatively concrete ideas for a project.
