Most other college campus's have at least a small convenient store that is open early and late and have medicine, snacks, toiletries, etc. I think our campus could use something of that sort for littles things that people need. That way we could use our GU Gold on the essentials as well.
Have an all-night study area or computer lab open to all students.
More lights around campus at night. Increase the number of security call boxes on campus.
Increase the number of individual and group study areas around campus.
Many schools have a local and national newspaper for students to read. Gannon does not provide students with this opportunity. It would be beneficial to students, so that they might stay more engaged in the news and political discussions of the day, if they were able to get a newspaper each day with their ID at no cost to them.
This could be the Erie Times News or a larger national paper.
Have better signs (including services, hours, etc.) at the entrance of every building. Put more benches around campus for students to use.
Have the ability to easily print "wirelessly" over the network to any printer on campus from your personal laptop or desktop computer. This would save the time needed to access a campus computer just to print a paper. There could also be an optional password/release code that could be set so that you could print something from one part of campus (say your residence hall) and pick it up when you walk by the printer ...more »

Would it be possible to have electronic signs/clocks at the official shuttle stops that give the approxiamate countdown to when the shuttle will pass by again? Instead of having to find a schedule before hand and/or actively trying to incorporate the use of the shuttle into your schedule, this method would allow for jumping on if you see that it's going to be stoping by soon. It's inevitable that there will be delays ...more »

Instead of having to find a schedule before hand and/or actively trying to incorporate the use of the shuttle into your schedule, this method would allow for jumping on if you see that it's going to be stoping by soon. It's inevitable that there will be delays in the arrival times to a stop, so hooking up this system in such a way that allows the driver to adjust the schedule in regards to the weather, unexpected traffic, would make it the most realistic.

Gannon is one of the very few universities nationally to separate guys and girls by floor.Many Ivy league schools and liberal arts colleges now allow male and female students to room together. Many may say the issue is the Catholic Identity on Campus; if that is the case, please take a look at the effects on prominent catholic universities such as Notre Dame and Georgetown. This step would require much work by the students ...more »

Many may say the issue is the Catholic Identity on Campus; if that is the case, please take a look at the effects on prominent catholic universities such as Notre Dame and Georgetown. This step would require much work by the students and it is a huge undertaking. Yet, student government's purpose is to change with the changing student population. At a time where campus renovation of dorms is coming, I think this is the time to change policy.

I think crosswalks in the middle of 6th Street and 9th streets should be added. The one on 6th street should connect the two parts of AJs way by the courthouse and the frog. The crosswalk on 9th street should connect the parking garages to Morosky. These crosswalks will add to the safety of the campus, and cars will hopefully slow down when students are trying to cross the road.
There are aesthetic wood panels in Zurn, but the bunson burners are temporarily out of order. Your experiments refuse to yield the correct results because your equipment is wearing out. You need to use a computer program that is installed in a computer lab that is locked by the time you get out of your after dinner meetings. It just seems silly that we pay for this.
Could we maybe get a computer lab in Palumbo that is solely for student use, not for classes? The library has computers available, but if you need to print or work on a paper between two of your classes, it's not always feasible to walk to Nash and back, and many times the labs in Palumbo are occupied by classes.
Replace the four outdated computers on the second floor of Nash Library with newer computers. Possibly add a printer for students to use without having to go to the first floor of the library.
When the library gets updated as part of the campus master plan, put a small place like the intermetzo in Palumbo somewhere in the library so students can get real food (not just vending machine snacks) and fresh coffee while studying. It's a pain to have to pack up and leave and come back just to grab some lunch or dinner... or even a cup of coffee. (Vending machine coffee? NO THANK YOU)
The current hours are inconvenient for students especially when they close early on the weekend and do not open until 12p.
