Committee Final Reports

After the introduction of PawPrints, many committees have been swamped with petition charges. Not every committee was able to finish the charges brought to them, as a result, the leaders of each committee created a report on where they stand with the charges brought to them.

The Tech Committee reviewed some of its past website successes, and highlighted a project in the future to bring WiFi to outdoor locations on campus.

The Academics and Co-op committee brought its reports on multiple issues on campus. They were disappointed to bring news that a universal career fair for all majors was not possible. However, they had high hopes for a website that would make teacher evaluations public.

The Student Affairs Committee announced a project to change the design of student and faculty ID’s. They also announced that a petition to have a “puppy room” on campus was not feasible given maintenance problems.
