From the ASUCR Elections Director
Hello Highlanders! Happy Week 4, almost halfway done with the quarter. My name is Kevin Arizmendi, and I am your Elections Director for the 2024-25 academic year. My role in ASUCR is to organize and plan our campus elections.

We wanted to share that the Elections Committee has extended the deadline to file for candidacy by a week! The Elections Committee made this choice to be able to allow for every student who is interested in running in the upcoming elections to fill out the form. This also gives those who are still on the fence the chance to make the choice to file. This is your chance to get involved on campus, to earn a leadership position and develop your skills, and lastly, to make a difference on this campus. With a position in ASUCR, you can inspire your peers with town halls, make your impact with legislation, and engage many with events.

You may scan the QR on the flyer or click here<https://forms.gle/sEe8KtxosEzBt4347> to file now. Be the future and join ASUCR!

From the Office of the Vice President of Finance

Happy week 4 Highlanders!!

Please view some updates from the ASUCR Office of Finance below:
ASUCR Funding Guidelines
In order to stay in the loop with ASUCR's latest Funding Guidelines, we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you all to follow our Instagram Page @asucrfinance (https://www.instagram.com/asucrfinance/). On our page you will be able to find guides for purchases and reimbursements for student organizations. 🌟

Finance Hearings
For Winter 2025, our weekly Finance Hearings for Grants & Allocation Exemptions are on Thursdays from 7:00pm - 8:00pm on Zoom. Please view our website for further instructions on how to obtain Grants & Allocation Exemptions (https://asucr.ucr.edu/budget/org-funding). 📈

Campus Finance Committee (Admin)
As the Vice President of Finance for ASUCR, I, Cooper Kumar, sit in as the ASUCR Representative at UCR's Campus Finance Committee meetings. At these meetings led by the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Elizabeth Watkins, I have an opportunity to gain insights into UCR's Campus-Wide Budgetary outlooks and contribute on behalf of the student body. Other members present at these meetings include all of the Vice Chancellors and the Deans for each respective college.
To ensure transparency and communication with the student body, I wanted to disperse the documents that we had gone over during our second Campus Finance Committee Meeting. This information is public information, however I believe in making it easier to access for UCR students. As a result of this, you can find the documents linked here.<https://drive.google.com/file/d/17EUSny4kjL36wTO9YQ5OBbWXJxY3t6g7/view?usp=sharing>

South Asian Resource Center Survey
To better serve the diverse needs of our student body, ASUCR and SAF are exploring initiatives to establish a South Asian Resource Center on campus. This survey aims to collect valuable data from students to assess the demand, usage, and potential impact of such a center.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your insights. Your feedback is essential to enhancing the vibrancy and diversity of our UCR community!

Survey here!<https://forms.gle/iA5ut29zV4p7KvkR8>

I greatly look forward to continuing to serve you all this year, and I hope you have an awesome rest of your week!! 🎉
Best Regards,
Cooper Kumar (he/him)
