Projects-Student Government - Carnegie Mellon University

Projects

The Student Body Executives are constantly working on ways to improve the overall student experience at Carnegie Mellon. Each year, the Executives come up with new ideas and their own projects to tackle.

Current Projects

RA Bullentin Board

Each year RAs create bulletin boards for their hallways that have a common thread of posters. The process for RAs can be streamlined if there were stock posters that they could build off of. We are creating a grouping of poster templates that can be used as a base guidline for RAs when they create their bulletin Boards. 

Transportation

Over the summer there were large changes made to the current campus transportation provided by shuttle and escort. We are currently reviewing the changes to give feedback on what can still be improved. In addition, we are also looking into options that can improve the safety of return trips from Southside on the weekends during early morning hours.

Centralized Calendar

With all of the events on campus, there is currently no easy, visual, and exportable calendar that students have access to that contains the majority of campus events. We are working on creating such a calendar so students can quickly find out what events are happening in an effort to promote increased campus involvement. 

SpaceQuest

After receiving numerous complaints about the functionality of the new SpaceQuest, we are reviewing the system. Upon completion of our analysis, we will be presenting our ideas for improvements to make SpaceQuest a more user friendly system.

Campus Dining

While in the past few years, dining has improved for the better on campus, there are still ways in which it can be enhanced. Currently we are investigating nutrition awareness to world on ways to increase the student body's knowledge on the food that they are consuming. 

Campus Involvement

While we believe that Tartan Rewards had some success in regards to increasing campus involvement, we are exploring other avenues to encourage students to participate in the diverse experiences offered at Carnegie Mellong University.
