SAY YES TO THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE!

The Student Association Elections are taking place March 23rd and 24th on My UAlbany. The Student Activity Fee is also up for a vote this year, as it is every two years. The Student Activity Fee is a fee currently paid by all undergraduate students, each year when they pay their tuition.

The small fee of $85 dollars allows the Student Association to provide them with:

1. Five Quad- Volunteer Ambulance Service
2. Student Legal Services- Lawyers employed to assist/represent students
3. Dippikill- property of cabins and wilderness available for students an hour outside Albany.
4. On campus concerts- fall concert and Parkfest
5. Comedy shows
6. Intramural and Club Sports
7. Funding for over 200 student groups- including Hillel, NYPIRG, ASUBA, College Democrats, College Republicans, Cornerstone Campus Ministry, Fuerza Latina, Earth Tones, and Serendipity.
8. WCDB Radio Station
9. Danes After Dark
10. ATV

If the Student Activity Fee vote fails and becomes voluntary, the over $2 million budget that we currently have will no longer exist. This means that we will be unable to fund any student groups and will be forced to cut nearly all of the events and services that we currently provide.

So on March 23rd and 24th, vote YES to keep the mandatory Student Activity Fee!
