The finance committee functions as the oversight to the MSC budget, which has been $25,000-$30,000 the last several years. Members of the finance committee are the individuals predominantly responsible for the allocation of the approved budget to student groups, traveling students and MSC sponsored events. Required duties include attending finance committee meetings, attending funding days that occur at the beginning of each semester, working with the MSC treasurer to maintain an accurate budget, and working closely with administration and students on concerns including tuition and student fees.
