Funding
The DUG is eligible for annual funding of up to $1000: up to $500 from the Taubman Center will be matched by up to $500 from the Office of the Dean of the College. The student leader of the DUG must submit a letter that requests funding (specify amount), lists events and provides a budget for the academic year. The DUG's faculty advisor or department chair must also submit a written request stating the amount of departmental funds for which the DUG is requesting matching funds.
