I’d like to thank everyone who’s contacted us about issues with the new Campus Shuttle. In particular, the GPS tracking feature is obviously not working very well right now. We’ve also gotten some reports that the shuttles are not stopping and waiting briefly at every stop (so that people waiting in their dorms can see the shuttle arrive, and have time to get outside and catch it). We’re also aware that currently, the designated stops are not marked. This is a new system and we’re still trying to work out all the kinks, so please bear with us and keep the feedback coming!

At tonight’s SGA meeting, we passed a resolution creating a new standing committee, the Student Safety and Wellness Committee. This committee will proactively address anything related to safety and wellness (duh). We’ll be addressing such issues as sexual assault, unauthorized access to dorms, STDs, mental and physical health, lighting, etc. We want to act as a liaison between existing organizations who aim to address some of those issues, and the SGA, as the official voice of the student body.I’d really like to get as many people involved with this as possible, so whether you’re involved with the SGA or not, if this sounds like something you’d be down with, please e-mail me (Andrea.Wise@trincoll.edu). Since this committee was just formed about an hour and a half ago, I don’t yet have a meeting time, but I’ll e-mail any interested members and we’ll find a time that works for everyone.

Additionally, if you’ve got any ideas/concerns/issues you’d like us to address, just let me know and we’ll see to it.
