Fusion Frenzy was an collaborative event between the Student Government Association and the Drury University Marketing Department. This event was designed for First Year Students and Sophomores in order to explore and gain an understanding of the new Your Drury Fusion curriculum. Students attending this event were able to play games, eat food, and get personal academic advising on whether or not to continue under the CORE curriculum or switch to Drury Fusion.

We recognize the processes and forms necessary to request and receive funding from SGA can be overwhelming and confusing. We are currently reviewing all our documents and the steps organization leaders must go through, from start to finish, in the allocation and auditing seasons. SGA will communicate improvements with campus leaders as the time for allocations approaches.
