USG treasurer promises more money spent on students in next year

By Nandini Krishnan News Contributor

According to the new University Student Government (USG) Treasurer Walker Penfield ’25, this USG administration plans to tap into its reserves and invest more in student programs and events.

Penfield explained that he plans to use this reserve and apply a different budgeting approach from previous treasurers. The USG currently has $66,000 maintained in reserves, he stated.

“Any money spent by students through their student fees should be spent on them during the semester,” Penfield said. He added that his goal was to “really push for more large-scale projects that utilize that whole reserve so that the impact of USG can be seen.”

Penfield is a contributing Humor writer for The Daily Princetonian. His term began on Jan. 30, alongside the rest of the new USG administration.
