Brittni Qualizza, the secretary of Circle K, asked for two co-sponsorships from the Board of Governance (BOG) at their meeting Monday night. Circle K is a nationwide service organization that has a chapter at Saint Mary's.
Qualizza, along with Alicen Miller, Circle K's former president, requested the first co-sponsorship to help fund an upcoming conference involving all Indiana Circle K groups.
"Awards are given in April for the best clubs," Miller said. "It is a time to celebrate Circle K clubs and the board's turning over to next year's leaders."
Qualizza also asked for a co-sponsorship for the second annual alumni reunion weekend hosted by the Saint Mary's Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SMAACS). She is in charge of gathering alumni to campus so they can present what they did after graduating from Saint Mary's.
"[The weekend] consists of alum from recent years to 15 years ago," Qualizza said. "It is a really good opportunity for younger women who are chemistry majors to see them give speeches and be influenced by their amazing place in society."
