The Triple Helix Budget

FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

The Triple Helix is the undergraduate journal of science, society, and law at Carnegie Mellon. Primarily through the venue of written expression, our goal is to promote the understanding of the impact of science and technology on society and their interaction with the law. We publish one issue per semester and electronic articles on a regular basis.

Income and Revenue

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Revenue-Donations/Other Income (-) $500.00 $500.00 $500.00

Recently, we reached out to the Princeton Review for advertisement in our journal that we print once a semester. We expect they will start to advertise in our Spring 2014 journal and will hopefully continue to purchase advertisements in our journal for the 2014-2015 journals, as well. This revenue can cover some cost of printing our journal.

Allocated to food.
