The University of Oklahoma students will continue to be involved after next year’s budget cuts. The University offers many different ways to get involved outside of the individual departments. The organization that puts on most of the campus wide events is the Campus Activities Council.
CAC brings in the crowds with many different events including University Sing, Mom’s Day, Dad’s Day, Scandals, Arbor Day, Relay for Life, and many others. Students, with the help of an advisor, put each of the events on.
The events are funded through sponsorship raised by a sponsorship team for each event. The extra money raised for the events is then pooled into a fund that can be used for the following year.
The events for next year will not be affected because of the budget cuts because they are put on strictly from sponsorship.
Ainsley Whittington, Relay for Life Activity Chair, said, “We are lucky we have such great alumni to make our events happen.” She explained how many of the major sponsors for their event was from networking through consistent alumni donors.
Though the University may face struggles next year due to the budget cuts, campus events will see no change and will continue as planned.
