Believe it or not, giving away $50,000 is not an easy task. Just ask Patricia Zahn, chair of the Jubilee Program Committee at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
Zahn’s committee whittled down a list of proposals submitted to the Jubilee 50/50 Project to help celebrate UMSL’s 50th anniversary in 2013. The university set aside $50,000 to help support events or activities sponsored and hosted by units, departments and organizations across campus. The group announced Tuesday that 33 projects were approved with 28 of them sharing a total of $40,000. Five projects were approved, but did not require funding.
The remaining $10,000 will support student proposals, which will be solicited in August.
