Fin-Com

​Fin-Com is a panel of students who represent the student body of Adrian College. 

Fin-Com is governed by the Student Government Association (SGA), chaired by the Executive Vice-President of SGA, and advised by the Student Activities Coordinator. CAB reviews and evaluates funding requests from all recognized campus organizations and then allocates an amount based on available funds and the request’s adherence to evaluation criteria. Fin-Com allocates up to 45% of the annual student activity fees to student organizations. The board focuses on ensuring quality and diversity throughout the scheduled events on campus.

Fin-com also encourages student organizations to work together to provide activities for the college community. By combining efforts, skills, abilities, and allocations from various student groups, more students will be involved and benefit in a greater variety and number of activities.
