The Student Activities Office =A0is gearing up for the annual Student Leade=

(<a href=3D"http://studentlife.mit.edu/sao/sla/awards" target=3D"_blank">s=

<br>
As part of the incentives, we are reaching out to various campus partners t=
o ask for their involvement in providing resources and/or funding for winne=

ding the winner of the Outstanding Event Award with guaranteed funding (up =
to $2000/$2500) for the event next year. =A0I was wondering if the UA (perh=

tegories, specifically for undergraduate students. =A0My thought was the Go=

for the following year (say a retreat as to continue the strength of the g=
