The Student Federation approved a funding request by Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanish Honorary, at its March 9 meeting.

The honorary requested $317 for an upcoming trivia night the honorary is planning on March 23 at 7:00 p.m.

“We were happy to fund the event for the Spanish honorary Sigma Delta Pi,” said junior Victoria Kelly, a federation representative. “I was impressed with their plan for trivia night to promote Spanish learning while keeping it accessible to all of campus, and I’d encourage anyone interested to attend this or another of their events.”

The trivia night is open to all of campus.

“The trivia night will include teams of four people,” said senior Tatiana Bunge, representative of the Spanish Honorary. 

Only one member of each team needs to be able to speak Spanish and the top three teams will receive prize money. 

“There will be questions on Spanish history, geography, and culture,” Bunge said.

The honorary requested funding for snacks, prizes, and other supplies needed for the event. 

“We are hoping to support a lot of the local businesses with these purchases,” Bunge said.

The finance committee recommended full funding for the honorary’s proposal, and the federation passed it unanimously.

A Catholic Society representative was not present, so their funding proposal was moved to the next meeting.

According to the federation treasurer and junior Emma De Nooy, the federation still has approximately $44,000 on hand to spend this semester.

The next Student Federation meeting is at 7 p.m. on March 30 in the Formal Lounge and is open to the student body to attend.
