Announcements from Weekly MSG Scoop:
Sunday, December 8
Dean's Fund Chair Applications: Due Monday, December 9th at 11:59PM. Do you want money for your 2019-2020 events? Do you care about making sure SIGs receive fair funding allocations ASAP? Apply to be a Dean's Fund Chair! Dean's Fund Chairs are responsible for the equitable allocation of funding for Student Interest Groups at VCU School of Medicine. This money in part comes from our tuition, so it's very important that it is justly and fairly distributed. Dean's Fund Chairs decide on annual allocation of SIG funds, communicate with SIG leaders about funding rules/regulations, and communicate with the VCU SOM Financial Office. Time commitment varies, with higher commitment (10+ hrs per week) during spring allocation and lower commitment (<2 hrs per week) during most of the academic year. Application can be found here. Please feel free to contact Stephanie <zhangsw@mymail.vcu.edu> or Sunny <ghotram2@mymail.vcu.edu> with any questions.
