How can I improve my college?

Question

I recently became a Student Senator at my local community college. As part of the senator requirement, I must take part in a "Senator Project," in which the board member organizes or plays a role in an activity that improves the school. For example, one of the groups has tried to enforce a "25 feet from the building rule" for smokers, or tried to setup other alternatives for our smoking classmates. Other students used funding to buy sports equipment such as wiffleballs and flag football in the yard that students could rent out with their school ID.

Does anyone have a general idea that I can try to work on for my school? I'm not asking it specifically for my college because I feel that all schools share some of the same essential problems.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could do a culture campaign and help support cultural tolerance.

You could do a voting campaign and get more students to vote.

You could improve your campus recycling program.

You could set up an office surplus program. (many schools have office surplus, especially when they get new stuff for their office, but not all have a good program to deal with this).

Answer 2

First decide what do you want for your college. What type of college is it? A 2 year community or a 4 year? 4 year schools tend to have an easier way of getting things done. If I were you take a poll of what students really want to do. Once you have an answer figure out and brainstorm how you can make those things happen. I wouldn't do anything that really cant pull the support from the student body! Good Luck!
