possible.
The funds are provided by both the Student Assembly (via the Activities Fee) and the PSC. The CPB receives approximately $20,000 for the Fund each year. Up to $2,000 per project per year is available in funding. The CPB, funded projects. and community agency partners make up the Community Partnership.

The CPB is composed of nine students from various
years and colleges who serve each as equal members of the Board. Each year new
members are recruited, interviewed and selected to replace positions held by graduating
students.
