As you might have noticed, the website has not been renovated over the last several weeks due to numerous conflicts and management errors but we have some exciting news for everyone: starting 9/21/2010, the SGA website and content will be live on the wider Wheaton College website. Since that is still several weeks away, we will still be utilizing this space to keep operations going.
In other news, applications for the Senate and Venture Funds will released as soon as the College’s Budget Office has confirmed the request. EEF monies will be disbursed to their relative parties shortly as the paperwork was just submitted today for the Comptroller’s approval. If you know you will not be using EEF money and you were awarded money, the Treasurer would like to remind you that it is the Club Treasurer’s responsibility to see that the money is returned to whichever fund the SGA Treasurer directs said monies. If you have any concerns or questions, please email Zachary Agush ‘12 at the following email address: sgatreasurer@wheatoncollege.edu
After a series of spirited deliberations between the Treasurer and the other members of the Executive Board, the Early Event Fund is officially closed. The Early Event Fund received 25 funding applications, totaling $27,418.25 and the fund only had $5,000.00 to allocate. As the application stated, the application process was going to be very compeitive and the Executive Board tried to the best of its ability to allocate money fairly based upon the merits of the application and how the proposal would ultimately enhance the Wheaton communtiy at large.
The Treasurer, in keeping with his promise of accountability and transpancy, has provided the following excel spreadsheet showing the amounts requested, granted and the difference between the two for each application. You may download a copy of the allocations spreadsheet HERE.
If you have any questions concerning the Early Event Fund or need any concerns addressed, please email Zachary Agush ‘12 at the following email address: sgatreasurer@wheatonma.edu.

Good morning,
On behalf of the SGA President and myself, we would like to announce that as of today, July 6th, Early Event Fund applications will be accepted. As stated in the by-laws of the Student Government Association of Wheaton College, the purpose of the Venture Fund is to fund events which will improve and enhance the co-curricular life and awareness of the Wheaton community. For the academic year of 2010-2011, the Early Event Fund has $5,000 available. Applications will be due on or before July 29th, 2010 at 6pm.
Upon receiving all applications, the Executive Board will convene to deliberate and allocate monies based upon the merits of the application. Please read each section carefully and provide all information to the best of your ability. Submitting an application does not guarantee funding. The application process is competitive and you will receive written notification on August 6th, 2010.
The President mentioned in her email address to the community that this will be a test of online submission, however, due to last minute programming issues on the form, we will be holding off the direct emailing of pdf forms to the SGA Treasurer for the time being. Although this delays the first actual test, we have set up an alternative form to submit applications using the same principles. On the first page of the pdf file you will see a set of instructions concerning submission: ignore those and refer to the following instructions below:
At the end of the form, press submit. You will see several options for how to send the file back. If you are using Microsoft Outlook select option one and the file will be automatically attached to an email. If you use Gmail or other web-based email, select option two. You will be asked to save the file (it will save as a FDF) and then you will need to attach it manually to the email back to sgatreasurer@wheatonma.edu. Please title your email “Early Event Fund Application for [event].” Upon receviving your email, the FDF will be converted into a PDF file with all the information filled in for review.
And now I assume that you are growing tired of endless instructions and therefore, you can download the application HERE.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.

The Early Event Fund will be a trial run for online submissions; all instructions for online submission will be availabe. The application will be available starting July 6th at the SGA website (sga.wheatonma.edu). The application period will close at 6pm EST on July 29th at which point all applications will be reviewed and funds will be allocated depending on application merit and amount requested. All applicants will receive notice on August 6th.

Attention all visitors,
As you can see, the SGA Website will be undergoing a complete reconstruction over the summer in order to make it more streamlined, easier to navigate and overall more interactive. In order to do this, all other pages have been removed and the previous background themes have been removed. This site will have limited usage over the summer but for all those concerned, the Early Event Fund application form will be made available on this page once a formal announcement is made. If you have any questions, please contact sga@wheatonma.edu. Thank you.
