There will also be breakout rooms for students to choose to be a part of with different professors and professionals.

Budget:
There was a funding request made to the senate for an upcoming Diwali: Festival of Lights event.
The request was valued at $800 as they had requested the same value as other departments. The senate was also informed that most of the remaining funds that were required would be provided by the Student Success Center.
After discussion, one senator offered an amended amount of $1,200 be made in this case. The senator made the case that in years past this was a well attended event, and that it should be provided more funding to help provide the right amount of food.
Another senator then voiced their concerns with such a large increase and offered an amended amount of $1,000.
The senate then motioned for the vote on approval to be made day of as the event is scheduled to be put on Nov 4. The senate then passed the vote and funding of $1,000 will be provided for the event.
If clubs wish to look for more funding for future events, formal applications are open to the senate for those who need them.
