CAMPUS ORGANIZER BUDGET
Hired staff on campus to teach students the
needed grassroots skills in order to run
successful campaign is one of the major reasons
we have big victories as students. The resources
they bring are critical to teach real-world
skills not necessarily taught in
classrooms. Courtney Morse, 2006-07 ASPSU
