Decision nr. D-0420-05
The Student Council, at its meeting of 7 April 2020, has decided – in the name of the Corporation itself – to make a charitable donation of 1000 CHF on behalf of the USI student community, to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 and/or its economic and social consequences in the region. The Student Council has also decided to grant 750 CHF in favour of the USI volunteer group that was activated in recent weeks, in the form of the purchase of useful materials and/or a budget to organise a moment of appreciation after the emergency. The Council promotes these initiatives because of the solidarity between the USI community and the region and as a small gesture of thanks for the exemplary generosity shown by members of the USI community.
