Hi Shauna,

The first two items for the website have been fixed. In terms of budget, we
are really working hard for the rest of our events. A lot of trouble has
stemmed from the fact that we changed over the summer as well as emails
getting lost in Student Government spam. We actually are supposed to
receive $500 in funding for this event from Bucknell's Library and IT
dept., however, we're visiting some staff tomorrow to confirm the transfers
are done. I'll let you know an official update as soon I know officially.
Additionally, we're working with Student Government for more funding for
the event. So far, from what I can recollect from the budget submission,
we're requesting about $800.

I think the general consensus with our board is that we want a longer
Career Panel especially if the History is not popular.
