Resolution 004: Canvas Prints for Hendrickson Center
● The photos on the wall by IT are due to be replaced. Tim Gossen would like the Senate to
fund the replacement photos. We had previously funded the canvases by the Admissions
office last year.
● He is requesting $3,400 for 9 canvases with frames. In the future, if we have to replace
the photos, we won’t have to replace the frame, only the pictures. This will save us
money for the future.
