IDP Students Agree: Campus Climate Improved by Pub Night

As one of three Individual Degree Program senators, I am proud to announce that consensus among IDP students who were in attendance is one approval for Pub Night.  The first Pub Night, hosted in November, offered IDP students an arena to interact with fellow students outside of classrooms.  IDP students generally do not reside or attend parties on campus and therefore rarely find cause to interact with regular students beyond academics. 

The informal atmosphere of Pub Night and presence of of-age only students put IDP students at ease.  IDP and graduate students interacted with classmates and each other and are looking forward to a repeat of this affair on Friday, December 4th. 

Those skeptical about whether campus climate can really be improved over a drink should come to Pub Night.  December’s Pub Night promises to once again provide moderately priced beer and wine and free soft drinks and food.  Guests with proper identification are permitted to attend the affair with Trinity students.  The SGA and IDP are looking forward to keeping Pub Night active and need the support of all students to prove that this is a worthwhile and enjoyable event with real means to improve campus climate.

About The Cab Vouchers

As Flo briefly mentioned, the Campus Climate Committee is currently working on establishing a cab voucher system which will allow students to travel to various locations around Hartford with greater ease and flexibility. We hope that this new system will encourage more Bantams to venture out into the community to go out for lunch, shopping at the mall, or exploring the various nightlife venues in the city. At the moment, we’re debating whether we should involve campus transportation in the project or solicit the services of a private cab company as we work out the exact details. If you feel the urge to do so, email any of the Campus Climate Committee members with any questions or comments you might have. Input and/or suggestions are also welcome and encouraged.Thanks, Natalia.
