How SGA will improve under Bob

Hey everybody,

So when I was getting interviewed for the Maroon earlier today (IT DROPS FRIDAY), Danny Monteverde asked me a really good concrete question that I think I'd like to write about for a little bit: How will SGA improve with a Bob Presidency?

I think that SGA has been moving in the right direction this year on everything from relationships with the Administration, to student engagement, to Board of Trustees meetings, to working to make student life better right now.

But we can always do better--and under Bob, we will do better. I know what we can do better at because of my experience in leading the organization this year.

Right now, I only have time to talk about one of the ways in which a Bob Presidency will be better than a Presidency of anybody else. I'll keep posting them later, but for now, here's one:

-Getting better two-way communication with students. First, this means finding out what students want and need more effectively. I will have SGA figure out a way to do more comprehensive surveying that finds out what students think about changes in the University, so we're better informed when we go into meetings. This isn't rocket science--it just means looking up some survey methods and implementing them.
Second, we need to do a better job of telling students what we do--from keeping tuition lower to allocating money to Greek Life and service groups to working with the Board of Trustees on improving academics. And it's not that i want SGA to brag to the students for kudos. Telling students what's going on through the Maroon and a better web presence will make for a more knowledgeable student body, and a more accountable SGA. It ensures that we're doing our job--fighting for you.

More to come later....
