Funding
How the GEC can support YOUR programming:
Endorsement: We can offer endorsement (using our logo and name) as well as support with advertisement via social media and/or website
Collaboration: When multiple entities come together to plan around an event or project. This avenue requires a more involved process of planning and working together on the event!
Joint Commission Committee Funding: The Gender Equity Commission can sponsor events and fund different on campus organizations with the collaboration of one other Diversity Commission!
