New members, new money

The Cal Poly journalism CBF committee welcomes three new members and one returning member for the upcoming school year:

1. Lindsay Indermill - new
2. Katie Bohn - new
3. Katherine McIntyre - new
4. Lauren Rabaino - returning

We had our first meeting Friday, June 5 and have already approved money for the following expenditures.

RTNDA

Student Jessica Armstrong submitted a request for $325 for her RTNDA registration, which we approved.

New JOUR 203 class

Because we only planned for 35 new journalism students in the fall, and now have an expected 68, the committee approved funds to support an additional introduction to reporting class, averaging to about $6,000.

Additional supplies

The remaning CBF money (about $4,000) will be spent on equipment and/or supplies. The specifics of the expenditure breakdown are yet to be determined. Department Chair Bill Loving will compile the list on items to be purchased (since he knows best), but the committee will first review and approve the list.

Why are we spending all the additional money? Because it doesn't rollover to next year.
