The Board’s materials detail and, by context, support the 2026-27 522 student activities budget at 2,000,000, with allocations across Campus Life, ASGRC student government, athletics, co-curricular programs, campus life programming, departmental support, and student employment. Line items cover everything from athletics travel and per diems to arts and culture events, leadership training, wellness and violence-prevention programming, benefits hub staffing, and use of Conference Services to maintain the Student Union. While individual procurements are not listed, this adopted budget is the spending authority that will underwrite a wide range of small to mid-size contracts for event production, travel and lodging, food services, marketing, wellness programming, and possibly software to manage student employment and engagement.Vendors in event services, student-engagement platforms, mental health/wellness programs, and athletics operations can work with Campus Life, Athletics, and the Center for Transformational Wellness to position their offerings before specific purchasing decisions for the year are made.

Committee minutes show detailed student-led deliberation on line items, but vendors are not named; budget approval provides the envelope for multiple downstream buys.
