Week in Review:

• The Assembly approved a grant to the ATOC Outreach Committee and discussed communication strategies with their colleges. These meetings are always open to the public.
• Fee Advisory Board Met on Thursday 20 January to finish updates to the Institutional Student Fee Plan. Updates pertinent to GPSG included that from now on one executive member (likely President of Outreach) and the Director of Finance will attend FAB meetings. Additionally, the email of the chair of the Board will be added on the finance office's website so that students may contact the chair if they have questions or concerns about a certain fee.  The final draft of this plan will be finished in a few weeks.
• Additionally (not related to the Fee Plan), last fall the capital construction fee was discontinued, which is about $100/semester. 
• We had 64 applications for the GPSG Fire Victim Assistance Fund and made awards to 16 students.
• The President of Engagement is working on proposing updates to the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder Today emails to make them more useful to graduate students. If you have any thoughts about this, please email engagement.gpsg@colorado.edu.
• Please let us know if there are particular issues you’d like us to prioritize!

If any questions arise, you can reach out to your representative or contact us at gpsg@colorado.edu.

We hope you stay safe and have a great week,

Emily Jensen, Barra Peak, and Mckenzie Dice
