Services to Campus Community

The Faculty Student Association is a funding source for many projects throughout the campus, including:

Academic Regalia

• The FSA purchases regalia for newly-appointed instructors and administrators annually.

CDTA Universal Ridership

• The FSA and Student Activities contribute to the Universal Ridership program annually. This program allows all registered, paid students access to CDTA services free of charge.

Commencement

• Most arrangements for the commencement and honors ceremonies are made through the FSA Business Office. Funding is derived from a portion of the records and activities fee. The FSA obtains the following on behalf of the graduating class:
  • Caps, gowns and other graduate regalia
  • Stage, chair and carpet rentals
  • Printing (invitations, programs and diplomas)
  • Music
  • Flowers
  • Catering
  • Photography

Campus Center

• Installed Muzak System in Campus Center
  Another feature that draws people to the Campus Center is the Muzak system. Muzak is a satellite music system that is provided on the first floor common areas and the dining and cafeteria areas on the second floor.
• Installed Security Cameras in Campus Center and Child Care Center
  The FSA purchased a $95,000 security system for the Campus Center and Child Care Center. There are cameras placed throughout these areas that are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by the Public Safety Department.
