earmarked for Lisa Mc Ripley’s salary and diversity programs be

position formerly held by Lisa Mc Ripley. In addition the committee
is devoted to continue diversity programming on campus until the
diversity position is filled.

and barriers regarding retention at Mills. The committee members

funding request: A) The event or program must be inclusive of the
entire Mills community. B) Personal investment towards the event
must be reflected by using club funds, outside sponsorship or
financial collaboration from other clubs or departments. C) The
event must be held in an area accessible to all of the campus

requesting funds from the ASMC special funding are encouraged to do
so. Special funding requests forms are available outside the ASMC
