I appreciate hearing what Hannah & Consuelo are doing with the 5194 Outreach funding -- what we are doing at WWCC is using those funds to support a hire of an Outreach Coordinator and building the partnership between my office and that department.</div>

However, my funding question was, as Ha has interpreted, related to the earmarked funds to support Students of Color. This is what our Business Office has shared with me about the allocation specifics: </div>

For the last 3+ years, those funds have been used for the salary of our Director of Student Life who has a strong drive and does a lot of work to support our students of color. As we work on our budget for next year, there's consideration to direct those funds
 towards my salary. </div>

I don't think this is completely unusual, but I would prefer to see those funds used more directly for programs and activities aimed at improving resources available to students of color and I'm curious how the funds are used in other institutions. </div>
